Check out the winners from our #MPDisVis Insta Challenge – judged by Eric Lindstrom himself

On the 18th January, we launched our very first Instagram Challenge in honour of the wonderful ‘Not If I See You First’ by Eric Lindstrom. The challenge, which was all about disability representation in YA, has since ended (sad face) but here at MP! would encourage you to continue reading and seeking out books which feature a diverse range of characters. You might even find your eyes opened.

We asked Eric to judge our all of our entries to this challenge, and pick just three participants to receive a special proof copy of his book. Here are our winning bookstagrammers:

Day 6 of @maximumpopbooks #mpdisvis #NotIfISeeYouFirst Photo Challenge and it’s before and after a disability. I’ve chosen Arya Stark from the A Song Of Ice and Fire series.
