In Shiver Sam writes many songs about Grace over the years. I would make a CD of all the songs that Sam writes for Grace. “I had written a thousand songs for Grace” (Stiefvater 231). Many fans of the book Shiver would probably buy this CD because they may like to hear what the songs actually sound like, and could imagine Sam singing them to Grace. This could attract other people that really like music because if they buy this CD, and like it, they may want to read the book.
In Shiver Sam and other people turn into wolves when it is cold outside and are human when it is warm outside. “Why are you here?...Because it’s spring. Because it’s warm. Warm makes me me. Makes me Sam” (Stiefvater 67). Another way to advertise Shiver is by making action figures of all the wolves because the book does a good job of describing what they look like. You could make it so you can turn the wolf into a person to show the transformation. Fans of Shiver would like this because they could see what the characters look like, and if they are younger they would actually like to play with them. This could attract to readers because if someone likes the toy they may want to try reading the book.
These things, the CD and action figures and many other things including the book itself, would be sold in a gift shop of a book store. Not just any book store, a book store that is a replica of the one that is in the book Shiver called The Crooked Shelf. In the book Sam works at the book store and there is when he first sees Grace when he is human. They also went to the book store on one of their first dates and Sam reads Grace a poem. “I let him walk me down the stark concrete block to The Crooked Shelf, a little independent book store” (Stiefvater 198). In the book store there will also be a separate room that was not in the book that will look like the woods that Sam brought Grace to because that is one of the main settings, and fans may want to be there in real life and picture what was going on in the book. This will attract new fans and people because by going to the book store and liking it they may want to try the book Shiver.
This is what the CD would look like, but with some changes like the color would be blue not black, and the artist would not be Coldplay, this is just a general idea of what it may look like.
This is an idea of what the wolf action figure would look like, but there would be multiple wolfs with different fur and eye colors like the wolfs in the book Shiver. The wolf action figure would also somehow be able into turn into a human.
This is an idea of what the bookstore would look like, but it will have two floors instead of only one, and it will be called The Crooked Shelf. The bookstore will also have a gift shop are to buy the CD and wolf action figure.
