Newbery Award

I know I deal with Adult Readers but I am so excited that Neil Gaiman has won the Newbery Award for The Graveyard Book, which I wrote about here and listed as one of my favorite books I read in 2008 here.

Here is Gaiman's own public statement from his website.

Kudos to one of the best authors out there. He deserves it. I am also glad to see the ALA recommending more challenging and cutting edge material to children.
