Hi everyone, and happy Monday! Well, it’s the beginning of a new week full of endless possibilities, and I can think of no better way to celebrate than by revealing the cover of an exciting – and adorable – new middle grade novel coming to a bookstore near you in April 2016! A contemporary story for young readers that explores themes of childhood, friendship and hope, The Last Great Adventure Of The PB&J Society by debut author Janet Sumner Johnson is a book that has long been on my radar (and my Goodreads’ shelves). You can therefore imagine my surprise and delight when Janet approached me and asked if I could help share her delightful cover with you here today. Please read on to learn a little more about Janet, The Last Great Adventure Of The PB&J Society, and to enter for a chance to win an advance reader copy of this heartwarming debut.
About Janet Sumner Johnson
Janet Sumner Johnson lives in Oregon with her husband and three kids. She bakes a mean cinnamon twist and eats way more cookies than are good for her, which explains her running habit. Though her full-time occupation as evil tyrant/benevolent dictator (aka mom) takes most of her time, she sneaks in writing at night when her inner funny bone is fully unleashed.

Some things are better together. Like peanut butter and jelly. Or Annie and Jason. So when her best friend’s house is threatened with foreclosure, Annie Jenkins is bursting with ideas to save Jason’s home. She could sell her appendix on eBay. (Why not?) Win the lottery. (It’s worth a shot!). Face the evil bankers herself. (She’s one tough cookie, after all.) Or hunt down an elusive (and questionably real) pirate treasure. Whatever the plan, it has to work, or this is undoubtedly The Last Great Adventure Of The PB&J Society.
