It's time to get musically creative. We want your Shadow and Bone playlists! It could be the soundtrack for your favourite scene or a playlist that captures the essence of a particular character or a playlist for an order of the Grisha. Your choice. It should be no more than five songs and you need to include short explanation of your selection.

And the prizes? They're great!

We've got FIVE special editions of Siege and Storm, the follow up to Shadow and Bone, with bookplates signed by Leigh Bardugo.

For the runners-up, we've got 10 audiobook versions of Siege and Storm, from talking book specialists Audible.

Tempted? Read TheBookAddictedGirl's review of Siege and Storm and be convinced.

How to enter

Email your playlists to childrens.books@theguardian.com, with "Siege and Storm" in the subject line, either as a list of song titles and artists or a YouTube or Spotify playlist. You can also add it to the Facebook page. Tell us what the playlist is for (which scene or character or order – or something else) and, briefly, explain your selection.

The deadline for entries is midnight on Thursday 25 July.
