I thought Inside Out & Back Again was a beautiful book. I just finished and enjoyed The Scorpio Races; I mostly read the text, but also listened a bit to the audiobook, which was well done and also won an award. I'm very happy about Wonderstruck, and I think the Schneider Family Book Award is a nice honor for it.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to Dead End in Norvelt, Balloons Over Broadway (I love Melissa Sweet!), Where Things Come Back, and Okay for Now.Carylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121648669908969665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426087944902239926.post-55383030728275231162012-02-06T21:22:36.565-06:002012-02-06T21:22:36.565-06:00Hi Amy!
