National Book Award Winner

Last night at the National Book Awards Thanhha Lai won in the category for Young People's Literature with her title, Inside Out & Back Again.  My review of this book was posted on September 2, 2011.  It is one of those books that needs to be read.

Other titles that received nominations are My Name Is Not Easy by Debby Dahl Edwardson, Flesh & Blood So Cheap:  The Triangle Fire and It's Legacy by Albert Marrin, Okay for Now by Gary Schmidt and Chime by Franny Billingsley.
