When I was looking for books to review during October, a.k.a. Halloween month, I knew I had a winner when I saw the publisher’s brief synopsis for Practical Jean by Trevor Cole. It cracked me up and made me go “Eeew” all that the same time. I approached the publisher about sponsoring a book giveaway and they said yes! So on top of learning about this twisty tale, one lucky reader will also win a copy of Practical Jean! WooHoo!

A Little Background: Trevor Cole is a Canadian author and an award-winning journalist whose first two novels, Norman Bray in the Performance of His Life and The Fearsome Particles, have both been short listed for several prestigious awards. Practical Jean has just won the 2011 Leacock Medal for Humour. Practical Jean was released in Canada in 2010 but is just being released in the U.S. this month.
