CYAAnother reminder (before the price goes up): register now for the 2014 Horn Book at Simmons Colloquium, October 10-11 here in Boston. Come and hear our speakers Mind the Gaps as we bang on about what's happening--and what's missing-- in children's and YA books and reading today. (I just saw the aggregative term "CYA literature" and hope to never see it again.)

It should be a great day. Our 2012 Boston Globe-Horn Book fiction winner, librarian and author Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, will be back to provide the keynote address, and she'll be joined by this year's BGHB winners Steve Sheinkin, Andrew Smith, Peter Brown, and many others. You can see the lineup at the link. I hope you will come!
