YALSA 2014 Best Fiction List!
Nice news this week--my verse novel The Language Inside was named by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) a 2014 YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults title!
The full list includes 98 titles. As stated on the YALSA site, "This year’s list of 98 books was drawn from 175 official nominations. The books, recommended for ages 12-18, meet the criteria of both good quality literature and appealing reading for teens." I'm so honored that The Language inside was included.
Last week I had a chance to meet readers, many of them young poets, at the Newton Free Library in Massachusetts, and it was so nice to see The Language Inside Guide for Teachers and Readers in full use. I'm looking forward to meeting with more TLI readers and writers, both in person and via Skype, in the coming year.
Thank you to all my book folk heroes--my editors, my agent, Delacorte/Random House, librarians and, teachers, readers and writers!
