Book Trailer

Remember that little Book Trailer competition we launched a few months ago, with our friends at Waterstone's? Remember, we were looking for a minute-long ad to play in UK cinemas, promoting the books?

If you remember that, you may also remember the fact that we chose not one, but TWO winners- Liam Fitzpatrick and Danielle Drew- and combined their ideas to make the Best Thing Ever In The World ™.
Remember all that? Oh I AM glad. Because, drum roll please, the trailer is ready.

The reason that this was a “UK only” competition, and the reason the trailer will only be shown in UK cinemas (take a look on the blog tomorrow and there'll be a list), is simply because Waterstone's UK came to us with the proposal. But does that mean you minions living outside of the UK will never be able to see it? Pfffft. How unfair would THAT be? The fact is, we’re putting it online FIRST so that you, my faithful minions, will be able to devour it like the insatiable little zombie-readers that you are.

You’re going to need a bucket as you watch this, because your brain WILL melt. That’s an official health warning.

    He is honorable if he loves two people from Harry Potter (as long as they are not evil).

    ReplyDelete
  31. And Octa writes amazing poems

    And I've added "Annoying Dragona" to my interests

    ReplyDelete
  32. Why tease me? I am honorable? But yet they tease me about everything...

    ReplyDelete
  33. They tease me about a LOT more... Octa hasn't even felt a TINY bit of what they tease me about...

    ReplyDelete
  54. I don't even know what Einstein's riddle is...

    ReplyDelete
  55. The question is: "Who owns the fish?"

    Hints:
    The Brit lives in the red house.
    The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
    The Dane drinks tea.
    The green house is on the left of the white house.
    The green house's owner drinks coffee.
    The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
    The owner of yellow house smokes Dunhill.
    The man living in the center house drinks milk.
    The Norwegian lives in the first house.
    The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
    The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
    The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
    The German smokes Prince.
    The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
    The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

    ReplyDelete
  56. THIS is Einstein's riddle

    He said only 2% of the population would be able to solve it without guessing

    ReplyDelete
  57. Dragona, somebody DOES own the fish...

    I just have no idea who it is...

    ReplyDelete
  58. WHO OWN'S THE FISH?!

    Look at that... if it helps...

    ReplyDelete
  81. LUNAR I HAVE THE ANSWER!


    Prince Cigar-smoking German in the green house owns the fish in Einstein's riddle.



    ^^^


    THE ANSWER!

    ReplyDelete
  82. LUUUNNNAAARRR!!!


    THE ANSWER IS THE PRICE CIGAR SMOKING GERMAN IN THE GREEN HOUSE!

    ReplyDelete
  83. please answer me! I know the answer! Yippie!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Clue # 6 says the person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds (house 3). Clue #10 says the man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats, so "cats" can only fit in the house 1 column. That leaves but one slot open, so the coffee-drinking, Prince Cigar-smoking German in the green house owns the fish in Einstein's riddle.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I never looked

    You probably cheated

    But I wanna be part of the 2%

    Anyway, The Norwegian HAS to live in the YELLOW house, which eliminates the Mary's possibility I think

    I just read: The German lives in the yellow-

    And I looked away

    I WILL DO THIS ON MY OWN

    ReplyDelete
  86. Ok... maybe the website helped a tiny bit...

    ReplyDelete
  87. Lunar... come on, just read it... it's easy... I am not in the 2%, and I doubt anyone in the country is... just read the answer...

    ReplyDelete
  88. NO

    If James frickin' Simon can do it, then so can I!

    Dragona, I'm stubborn like that

    I WON'T LOOK

    ReplyDelete
  89. And btw, the German lives in the GREEN house, he drinks coffee, and smokes Prince, and after you have finished the pet things (Danish owns horses, Swedish owns dogs, British owns birds, the house next to the person who smokes blends (house one) must own cats) and then there's only one possibility left, the GERMAN OWNS THE FISH!

    ReplyDelete
  90. And I did work it out, put only help with the house colours from a website...

    ReplyDelete
  91. Because I'm a sad person who hasn't got anything better to do, so I figured out an annoying riddle...

    ReplyDelete
  92. *Nicolette flips out and kills Dragona and Lunar with a candy cane*
