As time for the Teen Book Bash approached, I turned my attention to the authors we 'd be hosting and spent time reading fairly well crafted but predictable books.
That said, I must confess that I had stay up late to finish Fix by Leslie Margolis the night before the bash. Did I know how it would end? You bet, but I really wanted to see how she would get us there. That's where the craft comes in. Well done Leslie!
The chance to speak with Patricia McCormick about SOLD, was priceless. Did you know that her next novel is from the point of view of a girl whose brother is killed in Iraq? That women certainly tackles the hard subjects. I can't really say I look forward to reading it, but I guess the better expression is "I won't miss it!"
What did you learn? Who did you talk with?
