To win these incredible books just in time for holiday gifts by such celebrated children’s/young adult authors as Matthew Van Fleet (“Moo”), Rachel Renee Russell (“Dork Diaries”) and James Howe (“Bunnicula”), read on!

Who doesn’t love a good sneak peek? I know I do, and it was so much fun to peek at Simon and Schuster’s biggest upcoming titles, including the long-awaited “Guardians of Childhood” series by William Goldman (absolutely magical).
