The Summoning by Lynne Ewing

Sudi never thought of her­self as spe­cial. She goes to school, hangs out with her friends, and has a secret crush on a really cute guy. So when she finds a strange invi­ta­tion in her locker, Sudi hasn’t a clue that her world is about to change. She is told she is a descen­dant of the Egypt­ian Pharaohs and, along with two other girls, must stop a ter­ri­ble evil from spread­ing. Fail­ure is not an option because if Sudi and the oth­ers lose, the world will end, literally.

We will start accept­ing entries for our 5th Annual Art Con­test on Fri­day, March 30th! The con­test will run from March 30th through May 4th. Entries are lim­ited to 2 per per­son and size is lim­ited to as big as one per­son alone can safely carry.
This year we’ve decided to go with a theme, so we would like all entries to incor­po­rate pho­tog­ra­phy in some way, shape or form. THIS DOES NOT LIMIT WHAT YOU CAN SUBMIT!!! We will still accept all medi­ums; draw­ing, paint­ing, sculp­ture, pho­tog­ra­phy, etc. We would just like some ele­ment of pho­tog­ra­phy to be present in these works if you can pos­si­bly man­age it. If you have any ques­tions, any at all about this con­test, please, please, do NOT be afraid to ask. You can com­ment on here, you can call any of us, you can email any of us, you can come talk to us in per­son, we’d be HAPPY to answer any ques­tions about this con­test, cause we have changed things a lit­tle. But we still hope to see lots of really great entries!!!!
The awards cer­e­mony will be Thurs­day, May 24th at Fair­field! We’ll announce the win­ners then.
