Last year I read and blogged M.T. Anderson's The Astonishing Life... in October, and in November it won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature. This year I read Sherman Alexie's Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, and blogged it, in November--and today I heard that it, too, has won the NBA for YPL.
What will I read next fall?
p.s.: (do you notice a certain similarity in the titles?)
Musings on children's and YA literature, the academy, and the relationship between them, from an English professor and mother.
