Something Rotten nominated for NC school library award

Something Rotten is one of ten titles nominated for the North Carolina School Library Media Association Young Adult Book Award for 2009-2010! Students from across the state will read Rotten along with the other nominated books next school year, and then in March or April of 2010 they'll vote on their favorite. Last year's winner was Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer. At least she's not among the nominees this year! But the competition is just as tough:

The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal	Michael Scott
Chosen	P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
City of Bones	Cassandra Clare
Eon: Dragoneye Reborn	Alison Goodman
Impulse	Ellen Hopkins
The Juvie Three	Gordon Korman
Lock and Key	Sarah Dessen
Paper Towns	John Green
Something Rotten	Alan Gratz
Thirteen Reasons Why	Jay Asher

Hrm. Tough competition indeed. Well, at least it's an honor to be nominated! Thanks to all the NC school librarians who've been so supportive of me and my books.
