I wanted to share that The War that Save my Life won both our Mock Newbery ballots! You can read the results of our voting on my blog: http://pleasuresfromthepage.blogspot.com/2016/01/slice-of-life-mock-newbery-results.html <br />Right now, I have Skype envy because Holly Mueller just posted a pic on FB of her class visit with you. I thought KCLS (King County Library System) had scheduled a Skype visit with you, but either I missed it or it hasn't happened yet. <br />Now, here's a burning question for you from the members of our after school book club. Is the initial a in Ada's name pronounced with a long a or a short a? I promised them I'd get the answer to this question. It comes up every time we talk about the book! (And a point that our counselor made with the students when she led one of our book discussions: ADA is the acronym for Americans with Disabilities Act). We loved The War that Saved my Life and we're pullling for it to win on Monday! Whether or not the Newbery concurs, we know it's a winner!Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217892566352331822.post-12272658980600190252016-01-07T02:21:09.380-08:002016-01-07T02:21:09.380-08:00I wish you luck and happiness this year!

I can only imagine how hard it must be if the buzz is on the level your book is getting! Given my usual role on the other side of things (as a blogger, critic, award committee member) it was a very weird time for me. So much so that I wrote this after the awards announcement my year: https://medinger.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/this-year/Monica Edingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924540264341924291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217892566352331822.post-45575638629807069722016-01-06T18:46:19.388-08:002016-01-06T18:46:19.388-08:00I've been thinking about TWTSML a lot lately a...I've been thinking about TWTSML a lot lately as well. It's an exceptional book, Laura, and I'm honored that I had the opportunity to read it. You'd win the WINNERbery, if, you know, ALA suddenly decided to give an award in my honor. And the fact that that book is now in so many hands of young readers thanks to the hundreds and hundreds of librarians and teachers who love it? That's no small feat!Matthew C.
