Alex Awards

I just found out that Tunneling to the Center of the Earth received an Alex Award for "the 10 best adult books that appeal to teen audiences". I'd heard about this award last year because Hannah Tinti's novel The Good Thief had been selected, so it's really cool to get picked and I hope tons and tons of teenagers read the stories now. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to start making little gold Alex Award stickers and going to bookstores to put them on copies of my book.

So cool! Congrats...I was there, and I didn't see the news until I got home.

Great news. Personally, it wins my award for best collection of 2009, and best discovery, too - and I haven't been a teenager for YEARS!

Now publish another.
