National Book Award Finalists!


YOUNG PEOPLE'S LITERATURE

Paolo Bacigalupi, Ship Breaker (Little, Brown & Co.)

Kathryn Erskine, Mockingbird
(Philomel Books, a division of Penguin Young Readers Group)

Laura McNeal, Dark Water (Alfred A. Knopf)

Walter Dean Myers, Lockdown
(Amistad, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers)

Rita Williams-Garcia, One Crazy Summer
(Amistad, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers)

I feel ahead of the curve this year! Not only have I read Ship Breaker and Lockdown, but we (a local teacher and I) are teaching Lockdown to a class of ninth grade students!!

Now, I just need to read the other three titles!
