Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson



What's a book trailer? It's a new way to promote a book-- very similar to how a movie trailer promotes a movie. There are a few programs you can use to create your own book trailer--we used Windows Movie Maker this tri, but may try www.animoto.com next time. Check out the trailer below, created by Ms. Gietzel, for Laurie Halse Anderson's newest book called Wintergirls. You can also click on the book cover above to read a brief summary.
