Welcome to the Year
of the Great Seventh summer world tour!
We will be hopping
from side to side of the globe helping Nate and Sophie find each other, but for
that, we need you through the entire tour. Sophie and Nate need to meet at a
secret location at the end of the blog tour, but since they don’t want anyone
else to know where, they left the address in hidden code.
We will be giving
you clues at each tour stop that will help you find the location. Also, at each
blog tour stop, we will unveil a part of a picture that discloses the secret
location.
These are the rules
of the game:
-You’ll need to
have read The Year of the Great Seventh to be able to follow the game, or at
least, have some knowledge of what happens in the novel.
-You’ll need access
to Google maps (Street View).
-At each blog tour
stop we will reveal a sentence like this:
Sophie spent an afternoon at the (2676 S Vermont Ave, Los
Angeles, CA—second word written on top of the main entrance door) Park with her
friends.
-You’ll need to put
that address into Google maps, and using Street View, you need to work out
which word is missing. In this case, the answer would the following:
Sophie spent an afternoon at the SKATE Park with her
friends.
-We are only
interested in the first letter of the word: “S”.
-The next day, we
will plot that letter into the four words that will hint the secret location,
and we will give you the new sentence. For example:
- - - -
- - - - S - - - - - -
-Additionally,
there will be a photo of the secret location at each blog tour stop. At the
first stop, it will be totally blacked out, but as we go along the tour, we
will start unveiling different parts.
-When we get to the
last stop, with the photo and the four words that we will have deciphered,
you’ll be on your own to find the secret location.
-The first 5 people
who send an email to greatseventhtour@outlook.com with the correct solution will win a free hardcopy
of The Year of the Great Seventh.
-We will only
disclose the winners after the last stop of the blog tour, and will strictly
follow the email entries by date/time received to award the books to the first
5 people who discover the secret location. Please remember to include your
first name, last name, and address in the email. We will not use this
information for any other purpose.
-You can write
comments on the blog post. We are okay with people helping each other; however,
the first 5 people to send the correct answer win the books.
-If you change your
mind about the secret location, you can send more than one email.
-There can only be
one winner per address, and you can only win a maximum of 1 book per person.
Let’s hope we can
help Nate and Sophie find each other!
Good luck to
everyone!

About the Book
The Year of the Great Seventh by Teresa Orts
Release Date: July 6, 2013
Publisher: Drayton Press
Description from Goodreads:
Sophie has always felt out of step — an outsider, even amongst friends in her high school with all the hype about celebrity culture. Her life in L.A. seems to have been already written for her, but when her junior year starts, it all takes a drastic turn. When she crosses paths with the school's heartthrob, Nate Werner, they fall for each other in a way neither can understand. What they don’t know is that by giving in to their desires, they are unlocking an ancient Egyptian prophecy that threatens to return Earth to the dark ages.
To undo the curse, Nate and Sophie embark on an adventure that takes them across the country. But their quest is not only to save the world as they know it. It is also a fight for their very survival. Behind the scenes, there are those that are counting on them to fail.
