I just found out that my book, "Princess K.I.M and the Lie That Grew" is on the list of 20 titles for the Young Hoosier Book Award (Indiana) for the 2011-2012 school year. This is Indiana's child selected awards program. Participating kids must read 12 of the 20 books on the list and there are over 1000 schools participating. 62,000 kids voted last year. My Book, "Mr. Tanen's Ties" won the Hoosier Award in 2003- Hopefully I'll be going back to Indiana.
And speaking of Princess Kim, the sequel, 'Princess Kim and Too Much Truth' will be released in March 2011. In this book, Kim learned her lesson and now ONLY tells the truth...sometimes she is a bit TOO honest. It's funny and I hope the kids like it. This book is also is about kindness...and in the world of bullying, we can all use a little of that.
