I’m thrilled to be able to share that the first book in the TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE series, IT’S ALIVE!, has been cho­sen by the Junior Library Guild as a Fall 2017 selec­tion for the Ele­men­tary Non­fic­tion cat­e­go­ry (for grades 2–6).
This is very excit­ing news, because it means the book will be head­ing to libraries across the coun­try for kids to check out and enjoy!
It’s also real­ly encour­ag­ing, because, accord­ing to their web­site, the JLG edi­to­r­i­al team reviews over 3,000 new titles each year and selects only around 800 for the pro­gram. The Junior Library Guild Selec­tion des­ig­na­tion is unique in that it is typ­i­cal­ly award­ed far in advance of pub­li­ca­tion. As one of the first awards giv­en through­out the life of a book, it is often viewed as a bell­wether of future suc­cess, with more than 95 per­cent of JLG selec­tions going on to receive awards and/or favor­able reviews!
So, keep your fin­gers crossed. Here’s hop­ing for even more good news yet to come!
