One of the Reasons Amy King Rocks: She Points at the Elephant in the Room

Amy (A.S.) King has just won a Printz honor for her novel PLEASE IGNORE VERA DIETZ (a book I have raved about so much I've likely bored you), and on her blog she says:

A huge thank you to everyone who has ever supported me and to my good friends who understand that I am, like Vera Dietz, the kind of person who points to the elephant in the room and says, "Hey! look at that big honkin' elephant!"

Note: You likely won't find this book at your local Barnes & Noble or Border's - the chain...
