Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Seaside Mystery by Anne Digby, another continuation of her Me, Jill Robinson series of tween adventures, the 1st volume of which was originally out from one of the Big 6 publishers and for which we've previously received other volumes free either upthread or in last month's, so I don't feel like looking it up again.

A seaside holiday - and a thrilling mystery for Jill. What on earth is her brother Tony up to? Why is he being so secretive about his new friend Sam [getting on the wrong side of Dad in the process] - and why are they looking for the boy with a fringe? When Jill takes up the trail with best friend Lindy, it leads the girls straight into danger...

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Mischief by TV series tie-in writer Christopher Golden & Ford Lytle Gilmore, 3rd in their Sleepy Hollow High series of YA supernatural/horror adventures originally out from small press Razorbill, for which we received the 1st & 2nd upthread.

Mark Hyde’s bad temper has darkened his life with moments of violence and troubles with the law, but he’s tried very hard to put all of that behind him, tried to be a better friend and a better person. Most of the time he seems to succeed, but even Aimee and Shane Lancaster, the new kids in town, have seen what Hyde is like when things go wrong for him.

After a string of violent incidents — when Hyde gives Shane a brutal beating, or when he mouths off to the local authorities, or when he vandalizes a few lockers at the high school — even the people who care most about him begin to worry that he’s falling back on his old ways. But Hyde’s best friend Jekyll swears that there are other reasons for his behavior and that he will calm down soon enough.

When someone starts pulling dangerous pranks and causing thousands of dollars in damage and inflict grievous injury, it’s Mark Hyde that the authorities are looking for. And when the problems get worse, when the vandalism escalates to theft and the pranks lead to deaths instead of a few injuries, it’s Mark Hyde the police intend to take down for the crimes, unless Aimee and Shane can find the real culprits.

Several YA books on sale at Kobo, from 1.99 to 4.99, mostly. Deal is good through October 18.
http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/Lis...Rpw0afg&page=1

I hope that's not an affiliate link, but I got it from my email, so not sure.

A spot check shows that Amazon has price matched.

Some kids/YA sale titles for $1.99, couponable at Kobo, prices good for multiple stores in Canada & US (may possibly be available in other regions as well).

Open Road Media are holding a Teen Read Week sale until Oct 18th on the following titles on their announcement page. There's a bit of overlap with their other promo ongoing until Oct 31st in gweeks' dedicated thread for all their Halloween-themed sale stuff, so you can pick up additional books by selected authors (there's some old school kidlit classics names like Lois Duncan and Zilpha Keatley Snyder).

A "Jaw-Dropping" Series of Geography/History Ebooklets, Free Now

Thought Junction Publishing has reduced the price of their entire "Jaw-Dropping Geography" series by Jess Roche to FREE!

I've made only a cursory examination, but I noticed that these are booklets of about 25-50 pages each. One thing that I was especially impressed with is the presence of cover-to-cover photos and illustrations, in beautiful, vibrant color. These booklets are very well done, at least aesthetically. Although I am a little bit past childhood now (ha), I got all 12 booklets for myself.

The series appears to be more about history than geography. These booklets seemed to be targeted toward kids in about the 4th-7th grades.

Oh, I guess that I should mention this, too: The regular print list price of these booklets is $12.99 each; the digital list price is regularly $2.99.

May I make an editorial comment? Thanks. IMHO kids need to be reading more of this kind of thing, instead of all of the fantasy and other fiction stuff that many of them read exclusively now. There, I've had my say about that.

Here's the list:
Jaw-Dropping Geography: Fun Learning Facts About Ancient Greece: Illustrated Fun Learning For Kids.

Jaw-Dropping Geography: Fun Learning Facts About Egypt Famous Landmarks: Illustrated Fun Learning For Kids.

They were all free when I posted them. I was scared there for a second that I might have goofed up and mistook the Kindle Unlimited price for the Kindle price. I am certainly boneheaded enough at times to do something like that. But I went to my Amazon account and saw that I paid $0.00 each for all of them.

I really hate it that they didn't stay marked down longer after I posted them. That is such a great series of kids' non-fiction books! Unfortunately, I don't know any way, in many cases, to know how long marked-down books will stay marked down (if anyone knows a way, please let me know).

It depends on who's releasing them and what they feel like doing. Certain publishers/authors have very definite patterns, others don't.

But for KDP Select freebies which are only available from Amazon due to the exclusivity agreement (chances are if you see something in the US/UK is listed as a Kindle Unlimited book, it'll be one of those) those have a time limit of up to 5 free days permitted out of every 90, and the switchover for them is at midnight Pacific Time, rather than the usual 1 AM for publisher promo freebies.

So while it's not exact, you can at least guess at a probable maximum range. And many authors/publishers who do KDP Select tend to repeat their freebies over time.

Free again from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

A Horse Called September by Anne Digby, a tween/YA novel about two girls' friendship and equestrianism, originally out from Armada in hardcover in 1979 and picked up by St. Martin's Press in 1982.

The moving story of a passionate friendship between two girls growing up together on an isolated Devon farm in the 1970s, the break-up of that friendship -- and the horse that changed their lives forever.

Yep. But the best posters (whose efforts I appreciate) can do is report 'em when we see 'em. Thank you for doing so. And we bargain hunters who see the posts have to regularly check in on these boards. As I communicated with Crich in another thread, about a another short-lived deal I'd missed, "Snooze you lose; slow, you blow".

FYI, I didn't print my observation to criticize you; rather, my intention was to warn off others who - like I - had missed the freebie deals for "regular" Kindle Purchases.

Another batch of kids' non-fiction freebies from Thought Junction Publishing (whose last batch was recommended by GtrsRGr8 upthread) are free via KDP Select @ Amazon (linkage for the lot)

Legends of History: Fun Learning Facts About [Insert Subject Matter]: Illustrated Fun Learning For Kids by Matt Curtis, with 8 titles visible in Canada (where we don't have Kindle Unlimited to confuse the price listings, yet), on ancient cultures and their mythologies.

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon (linkage for the lot):

The Haunting of Jessica Raven by Ann Halam, YA pseudonym of multiple award-winning British sf/fantasy author Gwyneth Jones (ISFDB, Wikipedia), whom I've mentioned previously was one of my childhood influences in getting started reading sf/fantasy in the first place. This is 2nd in her Ghosts and Other Hauntings series of tween/YA sf/fantasy/supernatural adventure/suspense thrillers, originally out from Orion Books in 1994.

Jessica Raven dreams of finding a cure for her brother's fatal illness, but she knows it isn't going to happen. Then on holiday in France she meets a strange ragged band of children. Who are they? What do they want from her so urgently? And who is Jean-Luc, the attractive but mysterious young man who seems to be in charge?

Jess is caught up in a game that's more than a game. How can she free Jean-Luc from the terrifying children, undead guardians of a priceless treasure? Maybe only Adam could help her. But Adam is dying, and the only man who could save him is lost . . . lost in a nightmare of the Nazi occupation.


Don't Open Your Eyes by "Ann Halam", 7th in the Ghosts and Other Hauntings series, originally out from Orion in 2000. The blurb looks non-sfnal, but a customer review says this has ghost story elements.

Moving into a proper house with a garden was a dream come true for Diesel and her mum and dad. The dream quickly turned sour when they found out they were living next door to the notorious Knight brothers (a crime wave all by themselves).

Every night, all night it was noise and loud music. When the boys' mother was at home for a change it was even worse, the screaming and drunken abuse never stopped. But Martin Knight smiled at Diesel as she walked by. Diesel smiled back, and with just that one smile they'd started something doomed that couldn't be stopped.
