SPONSORED POST Travel Adventures Essay Contest
This post is sponsored by People to People Ambassador Program.
Calling all 5th to 8th graders! Enter The 39 Clues-inspired creative writing contest for a chance to win a trip to Europe!
Imagine that you're a member of the Cahill family and you're suddenly on the hunt for the 39 Clues! Using this story starter, write a 200-word essay for a chance to win an exciting People to People Ambassador Trip to England and France during the summer of 2013.
Story Starter:
You wake up in a hotel room. You look around you. The room is empty. On the mirror is a note written in thick black marker. It says, “The final clue is just around the corner. Be careful!!” You hear a knock on the door. Your heart is thumping in your chest. You look through the peephole. What happens next?
Enter now! Essays are due December 3, 2012!
I dont know if I should do this.
