I just received word that Secret Society Girl has been selected as one of the New York Public Library’s Books for the Teen Age 2007.
“This list, now in its 78th year of publication, selects the best of the previous year’s publishing for teenagers, 12 to 18 years old. All the titles chosen have been read and reviewed by young adult librarians and recommended for this special publication.”
Thank you, NYPL!
Also, huge congratulations to the other nominees, including Sandy Kring, Ellen Kushner, Anderson Cooper, Meg Cabot, Justine Larbalestier, Maureen Johnson, Cecil Castellucci, Tanya Lee Stone, Lauren Barnholdt, and Scott Westerfeld.
My editor and I will be attending a reception for the authors at the end of the month, where Alice Hoffman will be speaking. I’m so thrilled. I wonder if Anderson will be there?
I also wonder if giggglius, the NYPLibrarian who loved Secret Society Girl, will be present, so I can give her (?) a hug.

Yes, congratulations to both you and the NYPL for your mutual brilliance!
I suppose you just happened to have a picture of Patience and Fortitude lying around…nice visual! They were sculpted in 1911 by Greenwich resident Edward Clark Potter (no relation). I don’t think he was the one who invented the urban legend about what might make them stand up and roar…which so far they’ve had no occasion to do.

That is fantastic! I know I would have loved reading a book like SSG when I was in high school. I might actually have been more excited about college if I had.
