Discover Secret Hideouts and Mysterious Friendships in A Soft Place to Land + GIVEAWAY!
NOTE: This post is sponsored by HarperCollins.
If you’ve ever felt like your life was turned upside down, or as if you didn’t have a space to call your own, Joy Taylor can totally relate.
In A Soft Place to Land, Joy feels at home in the house she grew up in and is at her best while playing piano, pursuing her dream of becoming a film score composer. But when her dad loses his job and the family is forced to move across town, home becomes a cramped apartment where she’s forced to share a bunk bed with her little sister and say goodbye to her piano lessons. Suddenly, home doesn’t feel like home at all. It’s a big adjustment for everyone, and with her parents constantly arguing, Joy wishes she had a space of her own.
After meeting Nora, her new movie-obsessed neighbor with her own tough home life and filmmaking dreams, she gets introduced to the Hideout – a cozy hideaway in their building that only kids know about. Joy loves being able to escape to the Hideout when she needs a break and one day she spots a message on the wall from someone who seems like they truly understand what she’s going through. Joy starts exchanging messages with this anonymous writer, feeling seen in knowing that she’s not alone. After they stop writing back, Joy begins to worry and tries to figure out who they are so she can help them. While trying to figure out the identity of the mystery writer, Joy is also determined to take piano lessons again and starts up a neighborhood dog walking business with Nora. They love their newfound independence, but when a dog goes missing, Joy knows that she’ll need to ask for help.
If you’re an avid reader like us, you probably recognize Janae Marks as the author of another amazing read, From the Desk of Zoe Washington. Even though these books aren’t connected, we think Zoe and Joy would be instant besties. They’re both extremely curious, passionate, loyal girls with big dreams and even bigger hearts. We think they’d love kicking back in the Hideout listening to music or using Zoe’s baking skills to invent new cupcake flavors together. We’re totally inspired by their independence and girl power – and we think you will be too!
That’s why we teamed up with our friends at HarperCollins for a giveaway inspired by both of these incredible reads! In addition to copies of both A Soft Place to Land and From the Desk of Zoe Washington, one lucky winner will receive a pair of headphones, inspired by Joy’s love of music, photo clip string lights so you can decorate your own hideout, and an adorable clipfolio, perfect for writing letters like Zoe or swapping secrets like Joy!
