If you're just dropping in here or came by accident, you'll need to visit the Apocalypsies blog for more info and the starting line: http://apocalypsies.blogspot.com/
Racing? Great! You're on the TOKYO HEIST stop on the "TP-ing Houses" leg of the race. Here's what you need to know aboutTOKYO HEIST. Try to remember this information; you'll need it for the quiz!
When sixteen-year-old
Violet agrees to spend the summer with her father, an up-and-coming
artist in Seattle, she's looking forward to getting to know her dad better, hanging out in the artsy Fremont district, and working on her manga-style graphic novel: The Adventures of Kimono Girl.
But her summer plans take a sharp turn when her father's newest clients, the Yamada family, are the victims of a high-profile art robbery: van Gogh sketches have been stolen from their home, and, until they can produce the corresponding painting, everyone's lives are in danger--including Violet's and her father's.
Violet's search for the missing van Gogh takes her from the Seattle Art Museum, to the yakuza-infested streets of Tokyo, to a secluded inn in Kyoto. As the mystery thickens, Violet's not sure whom she can trust. But she knows one thing: she has to solve the mystery--before it's too late.
Now you can go take the quiz for this leg of the race! http://ginadami.co/quiz/tpingtheyard.html
BUT WAIT - before you go . . . here's a bonus contest to win a signed copy of TOKYO HEIST, plus a Japanese-design bookplate, Tokyo Heist bookmarks, and "official" Tokyo Heist crime scene tape!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
OK, now you can go! To the quiz! http://ginadami.co/quiz/tpingtheyard.html
Happy racing, and good luck!
(What, you're still here? OK, if you insist, here's the TOKYO HEIST book trailer!)
