A book that I recently acquired for the purposes of giving it away as part of the Becky's Hugs Challenge in February.

Like all books for younger readers that I register, this is done in memory of Becky, the daughter of a dear friend and fellow bookcrosser, ResQgeek, who was tragically killed in August 2010.

This book was left on a park bench, bagged against the weather, on my walk to the Metro this morning. It seemed appropriate for this book about unexpected surprises to be left for someone as an unexpected surprise. Left in memory of Becky, who would have been 15 this year, as part of the Becky's Hugs Challenge.

Any future reader or recipient of this book is encouraged to leave a journal entry here on the BookCrossing site to let prior readers know the fate of the book. You can make an anonymous entry without joining the BookCrossing movement, but if you are interested in joining, it is a free and spam-free community where your contact information is not shared with others. Best of all, members receive private messages via e-mail from books like this one when those books are journaled, allowing for long-term relationships between books and readers.
