There’s a reason libraries all over the nation look to the Texas Library Assoication for recommendations—TLA recognizes great authors. TLA has included our client Janet Fox, author of the acclaimed novel THE CHARMED CHILDREN OF ROOKSKILL CASTLE on their list of 2017 Spirit of Texas Reading Program Middle School Authors.
Janet’s book has also been selected for the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association 2017 Book Awards Shortlist, which has been a predictor for national awards.
Two of our clients have been selected for the shortlists for the 2017 Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy (CLEL) Bell Picture Book Award. Carmen Oliver‘s BEARS MAKE THE BEST READING BUDDIES and Kwame Alexander‘s SURF’S UP have been honored in the Read category.
On reviews, David Elliott has received two new starred reviews for his YA novel-in-verse BULL, one from Booklist and Kirkus. Kirkus said of BULL, “Elliott’s absolutely magnetic rhythms will wake up any high school class.” Booklist wrote: “Effective both for classrooms and pleasure reading, this modernization brings new relevancy to an old story.”
Congratulations to our amazing clients!
