1. Review of THE SKY VILLAGE by Laura Baas


There’s a new review of THE SKY VILLAGE by librarian and blogger Laura Baas.

An excerpt:

Mei is one of those who (reluctantly) takes to the sky when her father sends her off to live in the Sky Village. Hovering high above China, the Sky Village is a community tied together through a maze of interconnected hot-air balloons and a shared history; Mei is forced to do some serious adjusting–both in her balance and in her life outlook. Half a world away in what remains of Las Vegas Rom fights his own demons (literally). In an attempt to save his sister, he enters the Demon caves where he finds himself embroiled in a gladiator-style competition against demon hybrids for the entertainment of the masses.

Read the rest on Laura’s blog.

2. OMG - Story of a Girl nominated for National Book Award

Sister LJ'er Sara Zarr's Story of a Girl has been nominated for a National Book Award! Yes!

This is so damn exciting! A client of my agent's, Julie Peters, went a couple year's back for Luna. My agent says tickets were a $1,000 each (paid for by the publisher).

Other finalists: Sherman Alexie for "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian," Brian Selznick's "The Invention of Hugo Cabret," Kathleen Duey's "Skin Hunger" and M. Sindy Felin's "Touching Snow."
