Alright my Lost Girls and Boys! Welcome to the Dust Blog Tour!!
Are you ready for an adventure? Have we got a challenge for you!
We here in Neverland are so excited for Kara Swanson’s Dust to release that we’ve gone and hidden little bits of stardust for you in all pockets of the internet! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to follow the map we’ve drawn and clues we’ve planted to the very end.
If you manage to avoid that mean, cantankerous crocodile and the stinky old codfish, then you will be handsomely rewarded!
Here’s how it works. Starting tomorrow, June 1st 2020, you will find a blog post every day for the month (a few days will have two posts!) for a total of 36 posts from start to finish! You will collect 36 clues (or keywords), one from each stop on the tour. Each clue will stitch together to create a passage, and each stop will lead you to the next until you end up where you started again!
Note: Please pay attention to punctuation and capitalization!
If you manage to successfully collect every clue, then, at the end, you will be redirected here again to submit your findings!
Now, for the gold! For any of you Lost Boys and Girls brave enough to complete the treasure hunt in one piece, you will have earned a whole treasure chest of pirate gold! Inside the chest you’ll find the following treasures:
- Bookmarks
- Print of Dust art
- Peter + Claire Character Cards
- Signed Bookplate
Wahoo!! And, drum roll please! *baaaaddummmmmmmmmmmm*
For the one Lost Boy or Girl who first claims victory over that codfish Hook and his crew…….
Your treasure chest will additionally include an autographed Advanced Reader Copy of Dust with exclusive notes from Kara in the margins!!!
That’s right. You heard me. 😀
But only the one brave enough to best the pirates, wild enough to evade the mischievous pixies, clever enough to outwit Claire, and swift enough to beat even Peter himself can have that treasure chest.
Any questions? Drop them below! If not, then fly my precious little Lost ones, fly!
Your first stop is here at Angeline’s Books and Everyday Life! Go say hi to her for me!
~*~
Edit: Alas! It appears there’s been a bit of confusion! That old codfish is trying to throw us off the scent! If you’re here to submit your findings, you’re in the wrong place! Eep! The Finish Line post will go live tomorrow morning, July 1st, and it is there you will find your instructions and submission form! Best of luck to you, Lost Ones!
Alas, the link is broken!

Hi, Courtney! Thanks for stopping by! In each tour stop you will find a clue clearly identified as your “keyword” to collect from the post. By the end of the month you should have visited 36 blog posts and collected a clue from each one. The first stop is linked above to get you started!

Once you get all of the clues at the end of the month (the last one goes live on the 30th), then you should be able to string them together to make a quote from Dust. There will be a link on the last post that will redirect you to the finish line, where you will find instructions and a form to submit your clues.
