Loved meeting Alan Silberberg at the SCBWI LA Conference – a writer, script writer, cartoonist who 
has great heart! Alan won the SCBWI Sid Fleischman Humor Award which was presented at the 40th birthday lunch.
Read his MILO and laugh and cry and in the end know there’s hope. It’s out in Australia too.
Story: ‘Milo Cruikshank is a 13 year-old new kid, who has to find a way to hit the “restart” button all over again.
The truth is, ever since Milo’s mother died nothing has felt right. Now, instead of the kitchen being filled with music, the whole house is filled with Fog. Nothing’s the same. Not his Dad. Not his sister. And definitely not him. In love with the girl he sneezed on the first day of school and best pals with Marshall, the “One-Eyed Jack” of friends, Milo struggles to survive a school year that is filled with reminders of what his life “used to be”‘ - http://www.silberbooks.com
