Win a signed set of Andy Briggs’s new young adult novel series!

Hero.com and Villain.net are the first two instalments in a fiendishly clever new novel series from author Andy Briggs. Published simultaneously within one set of covers, the series and anti-series standalone but, thanks to their cunning plotting, also overlap to give added enjoyment to ultra-observant readers.
Hero.com: Rise Of The Heroes tells the story of a group of friends who discover a website that turns them into superheroes. While surfing the net during a lighting storm they find out that superpowers can be theirs at the click of a mouse button. Their newfound powers, though, come with great responsibilities, which they are forced to face up to when a weather-controlling super villain arrives on the scene.
Villain.net: Council Of Evil tells the story of Jake Hunter, a school bully who receives a mysterious email inviting him to join a scheme for world domination, and serves as the perfect antidote to Hero.com.
To celebrate the launch of Andy Briggs’s new series, we have a signed set of the books up for grabs for the lucky winner, as well as seven more sets of the books for runners up.
To be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is answer the following question correctly.

Villain.net: Council Of Evil tells the story of which school-age bully?

1)    Jake Hunter
2)    Jack Coulter
3)    John Winter
