Sign Up Your Child for Young Reviews Circle
0 comments Posted by Faten Abdallah at 11/01/2010 11:43:00 AMHow important is getting a child to read? Very important! Study after study confirms this...as well as my mother and third grade teacher, who encouraged me to read all the time. I’m definitely a better person for it. Just ask my mom!
BenBella Books Young Reviewers Circle is for your kids to review books.
Your child is invited to review a book!
Getting your kids to read has never been this easy — sign up your 8 - 14 year old for the BenBella Books Young Reviewers Circle, and they’ll receive:
• A special pre-release edition of the magical new children’s book, The Sword
of Darrow (limited to the first 1000 who sign up)
• An official BenBella Books Young Reviewers Circle membership certificate
• A signed copy of The Sword of Darrow when it’s officially released next year
• Your child’s name printed inside the book, recognizing them as a member of
the BenBella Books Young Reviewers Circle
Let your kid be the critic
Why is BenBella Books inviting your child to join their Young Reviewers Circle? They want your young reader to share their thoughts about The Sword of Darrow and what they’d like to see in the sequel to make it even better than the first. We’re pretty sure it’s the first time ever that a national publisher has asked kids to help review and develop their books, so don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity.
Happy reading!

Harlequin also has a teen research panel for young female readers ages 13 to 17 who are U.S. residents. We are emailing you to help us spread the news because we have room for more teen girls in the Harlequin Teen Panel.
This panel is strictly for research purposes and we will not try to sell your teen anything or sell their information to third parties. Teens will be asked to fill out fun surveys; they’ll participate in discussions and will also receive FREE books (approximate retail value of $10-$15 per book) and have a chance to enter into sweepstakes (with your permission).
If you have a teen who would be interested in joining our teen panel please click below to find out more about Harlequin™ Teen Panel, and how your teen may qualify and register to be a part of it. Parent/guardian’s consent is needed for the teen's participation--so please watch your inbox for permission forms.
Click here to find out more about Harlequin Teen Panel
Once you have given consent as well as your teen’s email address, name, age and country of residence we will email your teen and ask them to complete our first survey to see if they qualify for our panel. If your teen qualifies, another email will be sent to you with a link to our Panel Consent Form.
