I just received the official press release from the Canadian Children’s Book Centre (CCBC) announcing the release of their Spring Edition of Best Books for Kids & Teens 2012 and—as I tweeted a couple days ago—Kendra Kandlestar and the Crack in Kazah has made the list.
I’m thrilled, especially since it’s the fourth in a series (and these are the types of things that give me fuel as I toil away on Kendra Kandlestar 5).
I’m also pleased that my friends and colleagues both have books that made the list (Vikki Van Sickle for Love is a Four-Letter Word and Dan Bar-el for Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, Where Have You Been?)
As stated in CCBC’s own press release, all of the titles in Best Books for Kids & Teens have been handpicked by expert committees of educators, booksellers, school and public librarians from across Canada. You can find out more at CCBC’s website.
