I feel like I did after Survivor Season One, when Richard Hatch showed us the way to play the game.

So THAT’S how you do it.

OK, next year be prepared for the Super Sekrit Society to Gather Massive Voting for the SLJ Bob Undead Poll!!

Oh.My.Word! What an incredibly difficult choice! I’m torn between THE LOST CONSPIRACY and THE FROG SCIENTIST. No, wait… I loved MARCHING FOR FREEDOM, too! You have an exceedingly difficult choice in front of you Katherine Paterson! I can hardly wait to see what you decide.

I would say I totally never saw it coming, but with the hints “it has THE in the title,” and “you’d never expect it,” THE FROG SCIENTIST would be the last one *I* would expect, so therefore, I expected it. (Sounds like twisted logic, huh?)

I’m just tickled that one of my favourite books came back! (And I really like the comments on that review page.) On top of how excited I am that there are _2_ nonfiction books in the finals!

Sondy,

Have you read The Lost Conspiracy? I think the importance of the topic edges IT over the top. Of course, um, same thing for The Frog Scientist. I really couldn’t be happier that these three books have been linked together by this contest. They are three really different and really great examples of how to write books for kids.

We also have talked about getting kids involved, something along the lines of the Carnegie shadowing program. If you have any interest is doing this next year, let us know.
