BookPage came out with its list of “Best Children’s Books of 2011″ and I’m thrilled to see THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF MIKE included — along with much more famous books like Gary D. Schmidt’s OKAY FOR NOW (National Book Award Finalist, 2011), CHIME (National Book Award Finalist, 2011), and Thanhha Lai’s INSIDE OUT & BACK AGAIN (National Book Award Winner, 2011). Can’t wait to read more books on the list!
Congrats Kathy! Very deserved…and I’m reading Inside out & Back Again, too1
Yay! I love end-of-the-year lists when the right people are on them.
I loved this book, I’m actually using this book for a project of mine.
Thanks, Kathryn! I’m so glad you enjoyed it — if you have any questions, just ask.
Cheers,
Kathy
