WINNER! Book Giveaway! AFTER DAKOTA by Kevin Sharp


We have a winner! Random.org choose #3, amgor863, but of course, no email address for you. Hope you see this and contact me so I can send you this awesome book! 





Win Kevin' Sharp's novel,
After Dakota


Hey '80s kids! We have another awesome book giveaway for you. This one is called After Dakota and it's by a totally cool author named Kevin Sharp. First off, I'd like to point out that Kevin is a high school English teacher, which is what I wanted to be for a long time. Instead I ended up writing ad copy (where grammar isn't a priority) and bios for fourth graders about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. In other words, I have much respect for this writer.

After Dakota takes place during my second favorite year, 1983, 1982 was my truly favorite year. The story follows three friends, Cameron, Bryce and Claire as they grapple with the loss of their friend, Dakota who vanishes in a plane crash. I don't wanna give away too much, so you'll just have to order Kevin Sharp's book here through Amazon (also available for just $2.99 via Kindle) or try to win it here at FourthGradeNothing.com. 

To enter, just leave a comment along with an email address so I can contact you if you win. One winner will be chosen randomly on March 10

The Super Bowl Shuffle Chicago Bears



The Super Bowl Shuffle was so cool in 1985.

I have never cared for sports, especially football. 

In 1985, I loved "The Super Bowl Shuffle" rap song and video performed by the Chicago Bears. I think at age 13, for a hot second, I was a football fan! 

I loved Refrigerator Perry and Jim McMahon.
