I'm pretty sure this means I'm supposed to stop working for the day and start drinking beer.

I'd give stars to Fire and A Season of Gifts too. Except, you know, I have no sort of power to give anything stars. Oh well.

Woohoo! I can't believe it! I feel like dancing! Unfortunately i don't have an emergency speech in my PDK for it. I have emergency speeches for many other literary prizes, but for this one, this most elusive star, i am utterly speechless.

Thanks for the sparkle next to "The Frog Scientist"'s title! If anyone's looking for me I will be sitting on a barstool next to Kristin.

"Thumb and the Bad Guys" and "Bobby vs. Girls (Accidentally)" looks pretty good. I'm looking for for good chapter books for my second-grader. Any other tips? http://editordad.wordpress.com/
