Teen Auteur Crafts Winning Book Ad

Back in June, we told you about Megan McCafferty‘s book trailer contest, which recruited fans of her Jessica Darling novels to come up with short videos for Forth Comings. This is the video she picked, shot by 17-year-old Canadian reader Sally Walker Hudecki:

“This video was perfectly cast, beautifully shot and has a fantastic soundtrack,” says McCafferty. “I was impressed with many videos, but this was the only one that gave me goosebumps. I totally believed I was watching the real Jessica, Hope, and Marcus—and I’m the one who created them!” For her efforts, Hudecki gets autographed copies of all McCafferty’s books and a customized T-shirt that says “YOU. YES. YOU.”
