I have two ARCs of RESISTANCE left, so congratulations to: Allison and Kyle!
If you didn’t win, I hope you’ll still try to find a copy to read, either of your own or at your local library or Scholastic Book Fair. If you want a signed copy, I’ll be updating my events page soon and hopefully I’m coming to a place near you, or you can order by Thursday Aug 23rdto my local indie bookstore, King’s English. In the notes at checkout, tell them how you’d like the book to be signed and they’ll mail it out to you.
In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this quote from the book:
Chaya is on her way to the Cyganeria Café, a place frequented by Nazi officers and a target for her resistance group. This little known event really happened in history and was one of the first and one of the few attacks against the Nazis outside the ghetto by Jewish civilians.
The route I was given took me through a German district, since I was less likely to be stopped. Not only because of my looks, but because I knew the expectations for my behavior around the Germans. I walked in the street like all Poles did—the sidewalk was for conquerors, they said. I kept my head up and eyes focused on the road, but never looked directly at anyone. Confident, but not arrogant. Purposeful, but not driven. Formidable, but not dangerous.
I smiled at that thought. Whether I made it to the café, or if some unfortunate soldier stopped me along the way, these grenades I was carrying were going to be thrown.
One way or another, I intended to be exceptionally dangerous.
RESISTANCE will be released on August 28th.

Oh my goodness!!!! That quote!! That quote that quote that quote!!!! I don’t even know what to say!
I’ve been counting down the days till Resistance is released and now I’ll want the days to go by twice as fast.
😀
Yay! thank you so much Mrs.Nielsen!
Might I ask, how do we get the prizes? Do you mail them to us or something similar?
Hi Kyle –
I sent you an email asking for your mailing address and who you want the book signed to. If you can’t find that email, you can send me that info to jen@jennielsen.com. Congrats!
Congratulations to the winners, and on the close release date! I’m sure you are very excited! I was wondering, if I want to still enter the other, ongoing giveaway, might I pre-order one of your books from another store (not The King’s English Bookshop) and still enter with an email, or must new pre-orders be from there?
Yes, Abby – that is totally fine. Order where you want and let me know – you’ll still be entered, the only difference is I won’t be able to sign it. Thank you for asking (and ordering)!
Man this books sounds amazing! I really look forward to reading it!
Thank you!
I asked my library to order RESISTANCE and I bought a hardcover copy of Wrath of the Storm, but the link to your email wasn’t working for me to tell you about it.
I’m so excited to read this book!! Only two more days! I’ve told one of my friends about your books and she started reading them and she loves them. She’s reading The Traitor’s Game right now and says it’s really good. I told her about RESISTANCE and she said she loved historical fiction books and wants to read it. So, that made me happy that she liked your books.
Hi Jamie – This will count – you’re entered! Thanks very much as well for recommending the book to your friend – that’s the greatest of compliments.
Yay! Thank you!RESISTANCE is coming out today!! Hip! Hip! Hooray!!
