What’s your survival plan? 
In Orleans, Sherri Smith has created a rich and complex world of the future where New Orleans and much of the Delta region are cut off from the United States to prevent the spread of a deadly virus. A new, primitive society emerges, divided by tribes based on blood types. Fifteen-year-old Fen de la Guerre—fierce, tender, and a survivalist—is left to fend for herself and an infant after her O-positive tribe is ambushed. Her journey, which Kirkus calls “a harrowing and memorable ride,” is one you won’t soon forget.Four lucky winners will receive a signed ARC of Orleans (G.P. Putnam), and one grand-prize winner will receive a Delta Relief Kit, complete with a signed ARC, a blood type ID dog tag, a glow stick, and 
an ever-crucial Snickers bar—everything you need to navigate Orleans, at least from the comfort of your armchair. To enter, send an email to OrleansGiveaway@gmail.com with your name, shipping address, and email address. Email entries must be received by midnight (PDT) on April 3, 2013. Winners will be selected in a random drawing on April 2 and notified via email. Only one entry per person; prizes will only be shipped to U.S. addresses.
