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!
