These contests are so much fun! You will soon see why. First though, I want to remind you of the Write Like Mike Contest sponsored by Walden Media.
The Write Like Mike contest is a chance for young writers to write like the sports columnist Mike Lupicia.
One Grand Prize winner will win the following:
- His or her winning sports column will be published in a Spring 2008 issue of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine;
- A signed library of Mike Lupica books;
- The winner will receive one thousand dollars ($1,000) to be given to the church, school or educational non-profit of their choice.

Now, let's recap what the winners of the Comeback Kids Contest will be winning!
Dedication, teamwork and heart make Mike Lupica's Comeback Kids series a touchdown for young readers. Meet basketball great Billy Raynor (Hot Hand) and star drop-kicker Scott Parry (Two-Minute Drill). Both boys strive to be team players on and off the playing field. However, when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, each character must reinvent his strategy if he wants to keep playing the game.
This series is recommended for readers between ages 8 to 11. Each subsequent title will feature a new protagonist, sport and challenge to overcome. Look for future Comeback Kids books soon!
I had first said that there would be three winners of this contest. Instead there are to be four! Here are the four winners:
