Today Amazon announced their “Best of
2011 So Far” books. Check out the picture book, middle grade, and teen lists.
What a great collection! I’m happy to say that my boss’s book, When I Grow Up
written by Al Yankovic
and illustrated by Wes Hargis, and a team member’s book, Divergent
by Veronica Roth, made the list! Yay! They’re both
spectacular books.

by John Stephens (review here), and Delirium
by Lauren Oliver (review here)…
