Judy Blundell just won the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature for What I Saw and How I Lied!
Huge congratulations to Judy and Scholastic editor David Levithan, as well as amazing NBA finalists Laurie Halse Anderson (I’m reading CHAINS with my 7th graders right after Thanksgiving!), Kathi Appelt (THE UNDERNEATH), E. Lockhart (THE DISREPUTABLE HISTORY OF FRANKIE LANDAU BANKS) and Tim Tharp (THE SPECTACULAR NOW). Huzzah!!
wow–cool! must read it!
A new book to add to my list. And boy. Do I ever heart David Levithan….
My reading list just got four books longer. (I was already planning to read Chains.)
Ohhh, I’ve had this on my library hold list for ages – I can’t wait till it comes in. And what a fabulous cover, too!!
