| 1:00 am | skodobah: | @bonnieadamson Oh no, I am not qualified for this! #kidlitchat |
| 1:01 am | bonnieadamson: | RT Hahaha! @skodobah: They need an application called Tweeter-rama. #kidlitchat |
| 1:02 am | EgmontUSA: | I think I’m too partial for this topic. #kidlitchat |

| 1:02 am | skodobah: | @SolomonInkwell Well, it’s good to see you. Not sure how long I’ll be here, given I have no clue about awards. #kidlitchat |
| 1:03 am | skodobah: | @bonnieadamson And that’s why we love you! #cheers #kidlitchat |
| 1:03 am | laurielyoung: | Hi, I’m going to lurk tonight. Got a lot on my plate, but am really curious about the topic! #kidlitchat |
| 1:03 am | skodobah: | My laptop makes me feel like I’m boiling in the computer room. #kidlitchat |
| 1:03 am | PattyJMurphy: | Loved, loved, loved Jandy Nelson’s THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE…Walter Dean Myers’ LOCKDOWN, and Kathi Appelt’s KEEPER…so far:) #kidlitchat |
| 1:03 am | dosankodebbie: | @BonnieAdamson I get all my reading recomendations for #kidlitchat, so I’m all ears. |
| 1:04 am | KrisYankee: | Ahh..book awards. No clue, but will still stay a while. #kidlitchat |
| 1:04 am | amyknichols: | Not sure how much I can contribute to the topic tonight. My reading habits are wonky and don’t always follow release dates. #kidlitchat |
| 1:04 am | EgmontUSA: | I can tell you about our hot upcoming books. The books that you need to get your hands on. But I don’t want to be that plugger. #kidlitchat |
| 1:05 am | lisagailgreen: | Interesting topic! Hi everyone. Can’t wait to see your picks! I’ll be mostly lurking on this one I think #kidlitchat |
| 1:05 am | gregpincus: | Hey #kidlitchat. Just popping in for a minute. |
| 1:05 am | mytweendom: | ONE CRAZY SUMMER by Garcia-Williams #kidlitchat |
| 1:05 am | skodobah: | @KrisYankee Same here, Kris. I’m here just because I love everyone. #kidlitchat |

| 1:05 am | amyknichols: | @EgmontUSA I’d love to hear them. #kidlitchat |
| 1:05 am | delzey: | rita williams-garcia “one crazy summer” for sure… but it seems a premature subject given fall releases yet to come #kidlitchat |
| 1:05 am | SolomonInkwell: | @EgmontUSA – Ooooh…be that plugger…BE…THAT…PLUGGER! #kidlitchat |
| 1:05 am | KateMessner: | I sure hope Rita Williams Garcia’s ONE CRAZY SUMMER ends up with a sticker on it. #kidlitchat |
| 1:05 am | bonnieadamson: | You don’t have to be an awards expert–who’s reading newly-published work? Lol, I’m still a couple of years behind. #kidlitchat |
| 1:05 am | carolgrannick: | @EgmontUSA Oh, please do! #kidlitchat |

| 1:06 am | mytweendom: | TURTLE IN PARADISE by Jennifer Holm #kidlitchat |

| 1:06 am | gregpincus: | Dunno what award it could win, but Jason Shiga’s Meanwhile is simply fabulous. I haven’t met a kid yet who doesn’t like it. #kidlitchat |
| 1:06 am | Lovemycelebz: | where is this #kidlitchat |
| 1:07 am | jeanie_w: | @BonnieAdamson I like Henry Cole’s A Nest for Celeste for illustrations. The story (MG) is charming too. #kidlitchat |
| 1:07 am | Shelltex: | I think most of what I’ve loved lately was actually a 2009 release. I’m still trying to catch up. Huge TBR pile. #kidlitchat |
| 1:07 am | skodobah: | @bonnieadamson Me, too. Old books, new tricks. New books, old tricks? #kidlitchat |
| 1:07 am | Shelltex: | And I have a feeling this chat is going to add to my TBR list. Oh no! #kidlitchat |
| 1:07 am | EgmontUSA: | Well becasue I’m sweltering, you need to read @triciaryaburn‘s SIREN. Scared of this town, but vacation in Maine, yes please. #kidlitchat |
| 1:07 am | sharigreen: | Jandy Nelson’s THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE is awesome. #kidlitchat |
| 1:07 am | amyknichols: | @Shelltex Same here. #kidlitchat |

| 1:10 am | RebeccAgent: | Hi all. LOVE THIS TOPIC but am I too biased to partake? #kidlitchat |
| 1:11 am | PattyJMurphy: | But, let’s remember…some of the BEST books don’t get awards. Readers are the best rewards:) #kidlitchat |

| 1:11 am | KateMessner: | I just got a copy of Laban Carrick Hill’s DAVE THE POTTER w/ Bryan Collier’s illustrations – definitely Caldecott material. #kidlitchat |
| 1:12 am | EgmontUSA: | In August, @Vordak is deigning to release his guide to world domination. NOT for Wimpy kids (but even more hilarious!) #kidlitchat |
| 1:12 am | mytweendom: | @delzey I’m reading the new Aaron Renier #kidlitchat |

| 1:13 am | mytweendom: | @WriterRoss dying to read SCUMBLE as well #kidlitchat |
| 1:13 am | LaurelSnyder: | LOVE the Jandy Nelson book, and I rarely love YA, on account of I’m an impressionable youn thing. Driven snow and all that. #kidlitchat |
| 1:14 am | jeanie_w: | @EgmontUSA I have @Vordak‘s ARC (Thanks for that, BTW). It’s sure to be a contender for the Newbery.  #kidlitchat |

| 1:16 am | LaurelSnyder: | @WriterRoss Thank you. Pretty fun stuff. #kidlitchat |
| 1:16 am | KateMessner: | And is it tacky for me to mention PENNY DREADFUL with @LaurelSnyder in the room? I love that one, too. #kidlitchat |
| 1:16 am | dosankodebbie: | Doesn’t ANYone have a book translated out of a foreign language to recommend? Are no kid’s books being translated? #kidlitchat |
| 1:17 am | WriterRoss: | @Shelltex Jealous :{ #kidlitchat |

| 1:17 am | VBTremper: | @KateMessner I’m starting Harmonic Feedback tonight – so excited! #kidlitchat |
| 1:17 am | KateMessner: | @dosankodebbie NOTHING by Janne Teller. From Denmark. Absolutely amazing. #kidlitchat |
| 1:17 am | bonnieadamson: | @jennymckmoss Topic is early faves for major book awards #kidlitchat |
| 1:17 am | KKittscher: | @writerross so you’re the one I’ve been so envious of! #kidlitchat |
| 1:17 am | EgmontUSA: | Some are. RICH AND MAD, VIRGIN TERRITORY, DANGEROUS NEIGHBORS. But VORDAK and RISE OF THE DARKLINGS are MG. #kidlitchat |
| 1:17 am | LaurelSnyder: | @KateMessner You are TOO nice. TOO! #kidlitchat |
| 1:18 am | RebeccAgent: | sometimes refer to the 2 big awards as C medal and N medal so as not to jinx… #kidlitchat |
| 1:18 am | rj_anderson: | I expect PLAIN KATE to win a lot of awards, and if it doesn’t, I will be very VERY surprised. Because it is wonderful. #kidlitchat |
| 1:18 am | jennymckmoss: | I loved MISTWOOD. #kidlitchat |
| 1:18 am | KrisYankee: | @EgmontUSA Thanks. #kidlitchat |
| 1:18 am | delzey: | @dosankodebbie jo nesbo’s DR PROCTOR’S FART POWDER is a hoot (think r. dahl) but like the oscars, no1 takes humor seriously #kidlitchat |
| 1:18 am | rj_anderson: | PLAIN KATE has gorgeous prose, heartbreaking emotion, deep themes, and a classic feel. Really, it’s unforgettable. #kidlitchat |
| 1:19 am | RebeccAgent: | but I will say BETTI ON A HIGH WIRE by Lisa Railsback is a moving and funny MG novel out in July #kidlitchat |
| 1:19 am | KateMessner: | Cynthia Lord’s TOUCH BLUE should be right in there, too. Funny, wonderful, and incredibly well written. #kidlitchat |
| 1:19 am | jennymckmoss: | @bonnieadamson Didn’t know that. Thank you. #kidlitchat |
| 1:19 am | thebookbarr: | There are so many times I randomly pick up a book years later and think “How could this NOT have won an award!?” #kidlitchat |
| 1:20 am | bonnieadamson: | @dosankodebbie Check Arthur A Levine’s list (Scholastic)–many there. #kidlitchat |
| 1:20 am | KrisYankee: | Thanks for the list of books to read. Must get back to my MG WIP. Promised lgr partial to my agent. Ciao bellas! #kidlitchat |
| 1:20 am | KateMessner: | @rj_anderson Erin Bow read from PLAIN KATE at the Scholastic Literary Brunch at ALA Sunday – I’m already hooked. #kidlitchat |
| 1:20 am | JenniferTrafton: | Has anyone gotten hold of an ARC of BINK & GOLLIE? I love Kate DiCamillo’s books and am looking forward to this one. #kidlitchat |
| 1:20 am | LaurelSnyder: | @thebookbarr I was pissed that THE GIRL WHO COULD FLY got almost no attention. Love that book. #kidlitchat |
| 1:20 am | jennymckmoss: | @KateMessner @rj_anderson Now y’all have got me hooked. Must read PLAIN KATE #kidlitchat |
| 1:21 am | LaurelSnyder: | Another picture book I adore but never hear about: the Elephant Wish. #kidlitchat |

| 1:21 am | rj_anderson: | @LaurelSnyder @thebookbarr I too am often surprised by the books that get overlooked (and the books that don’t) for awards. #kidlitchat |
| 1:22 am | thereadingzone: | I loved Jandy Nelson’s SKY, too! Would love to see Appelt’s KEEPER with a sticker, too. #kidlitchat |
| 1:22 am | rj_anderson: | @EgmontUSA Taggle! Taggle! Taggle! is all I can say. Love. Him. #kidlitchat |
| 1:22 am | LaurelSnyder: | I would like to see The Enemy get some attention this year (but it won’t). Have you guys seen it? CRAZY book. #kidlitchat |
| 1:22 am | KateMessner: | I’m curious to see where Deb Wiles’ COUNTDOWN fits into book awards, since it’s a mix of text & visual documents. #kidlitchat |
| 1:22 am | KKittscher: | Had a chat with @cecilseaskull ‘s YA book club at @skylightbooks that often it’s the silver award winners most worth reading #kidlitchat |
| 1:22 am | bonnieadamson: | @rj_anderson Would be a good future topic: great books that DIDN’T win #kidlitchat |
| 1:22 am | dosankodebbie: | @BonnieAdamson Great, thanks! Just the info I needed>>> Translated kid’s books -Check Arthur A Levine’s list (Scholastic) #kidlitchat |
| 1:22 am | carolgrannick: | RT @bonnieadamson: @rj_anderson Would be a good future topic: great books that DIDN’T win #kidlitchat |
| 1:23 am | LaurelSnyder: | @KateMessner I know. But it works without them, right? I feel like that’s the line. The book can stand w/o the art. #kidlitchat |
| 1:23 am | bonnieadamson: | @KateMessner V. excited about that one,too: Countdown #kidlitchat |
| 1:23 am | jennymckmoss: | @thereadingzone I’ve heard great things about Appelt’s KEEPER. On my must read list. #kidlitchat |
| 1:23 am | RebeccAgent: | wait til you see David Ezra Stein’s new picture book INTERRUPTING CHICKEN out in August #kidlitchat |
| 1:23 am | thereadingzone: | Ooh, and COUNTDOWN! The docubook aspects make it difficult to qualify as an award book, I would love to see it get recognition. #kidlitchat |
| 1:24 am | PattyJMurphy: | RT @rj_anderson: @LaurelSnyder I too am often surprised by the books that get overlooked (and the books that dont) for awards. #kidlitchat |
| 1:24 am | RebeccAgent: | I read Countdown and don’t see why it wouldn’t be eligible for the big N #kidlitchat |
| 1:24 am | JenniferTrafton: | This seems to be a very good year for historical fiction. #kidlitchat |
| 1:24 am | ranelsonbooks: | RT @KateMessner: I’m curious to see where Deb Wiles’ COUNTDOWN fits into book awards, since it’s a mix of text & visual documents. #kidlitchat |
| 1:24 am | PattyJMurphy: | @bonnieadamson: I <3 Arthur Levine:) #kidlitchat |
| 1:25 am | dosankodebbie: | Sounds intriguing. Thanks!! RT @KateMessner: NOTHING by Janne Teller. From Denmark. Absolutely amazing. #kidlitchat |
| 1:25 am | Brent_Watson41: | @ranelsonbooks Hey Russ, what’s going on? Roll Tide #kidlitchat |
| 1:25 am | RebeccAgent: | the Newbery cannot take into account visuals unless they detract from the story. Text of Countdown alone worthy of N recognition #kidlitchat |
| 1:25 am | LaurelSnyder: | @dosankodebbie I missed the reason you’re hunting work-in-translation. Mind sharing again? #kidlitchat |
| 1:26 am | dosankodebbie: | Will check it out. Thanks!! RT @delzey: jo nesbo’s DR PROCTOR’S FART POWDER is a hoot (think r. dahl) #kidlitchat |
| 1:26 am | Shelltex: | I think NOONIE’S MASTERPIECE is 2010 release. Love the design of that book. #kidlitchat |
| 1:26 am | lisabrowndraws: | Oh, I like that one too! RT @LaurelSnyder: Another picture book I adore but never hear about: the Elephant Wish. #kidlitchat |
| 1:27 am | OfKingsAndGods: | >>Music to my ears<< RT @JenniferTrafton This seems to be a very good year for historical fiction. #kidlitchat |
| 1:27 am | WriterRoss: | @RebeccAgent What are the visuals? Is it stand-alone artwork or art pieces that complement the novel? Must find this. Love DebW #kidlitchat |
| 1:27 am | RebeccAgent: | yay for Noonie @shelltex! #kidlitchat |
| 1:27 am | LaurelSnyder: | @lisabrowndraws We just read it tonight. Have YOU seen The Enemy yet? It’s right up your alley, methinks. #kidlitchat |
| 1:27 am | KateMessner: | Me too! RT @Shelltex: I think NOONIES MASTERPIECE is 2010 release. Love the design of that book. #kidlitchat |
| 1:27 am | LaurelSnyder: | @thebookbarr Very very good! #kidlitchat |
| 1:28 am | bonnieadamson: | @KateMessner So would N’s Masterpiece be N or C, a la Selznick? #kidlitchat |
| 1:28 am | vleemahoney: | @EgmontUSA Can’t wait to read Beth Kephart’s DANGEROUS NEIGHBORS. She’s a beautiful writer. #kidlitchat |
| 1:32 am | editrixanica: | Add me to the list of COUNTDOWN admirers, for both writing & format (tho I wished the pics’ order matched the timing of the txt) #kidlitchat |
| 1:32 am | jennymckmoss: | RT @rj_anderson: PLAIN KATE has gorgeous prose, heartbreaking emotion, deep themes, and a classic feel. Really, it’s unforgettable. #kidlitchat |

| 1:34 am | dosankodebbie: | RT @carolgrannick: RT @bonnieadamson: @rj_anderson Would be a good future topic: great books that DIDN’T win #kidlitchat |
| 1:34 am | HeatherMcCorkle: | Dropping into #kidlitchat to say hi! Sounds like we’re talking about some great books… |
| 1:34 am | Brent_Watson41: | @EgmontUSA For some reason, it’s much slower tonight. Maybe everyone is on vacation for the Fourth or something. #kidlitchat |

| 1:35 am | donalynbooks: | I love Countdown, but I would also like The Dreamer and Out of My Mind to get award recognition. #kidlitchat |
| 1:35 am | LaurelSnyder: | @dosankodebbie #kidlitchat Any age range in mind? |

| 1:37 am | LaurelSnyder: | @lisabrowndraws It’s super minimal, with these, like “holes” that look like they’re torn in the paper. #kidlitchat |
| 1:38 am | WriterRoss: | It’s crrrrrawling for me. Searching for alternatives. Was so in the mood for All This. #kidlitchat |

| 1:52 am | cjomololu: | @annastanisz Before I Fall has one of the best YA voices out there. #kidlitchat |
| 1:53 am | Lisawrites4kids: | @planetalvina #Kidlitchat It’s on my pile, too! |
| 1:53 am | LaurelSnyder: | I tend to read books over and over, instead of loading up new books. I feel unconvinced anyone will replace my faves. #kidlitchat |
| 1:53 am | LaurelSnyder: | @dncallahan Yay for Hugo! #kidlitchat |

| 1:54 am | Lisawrites4kids: | @LaurelSnyder #kidlitchat I rarely reread novels. Only a select few. Adoration of Jenna Fox & When Zachary Beaver Came to Town are 2 |

| 1:56 am | cjomololu: | @Brent_Watson41 It’s scarily true to high school live. I loved it. #kidlitchat |
| 1:56 am | JenniferTrafton: | @LaurelSnyder I’m glad to know I’m not alone in this. It’s a constant struggle of conscience for me: old or new? #kidlitchat |
| 1:56 am | delzey: | time to walk away from the smorgasbord of suggestions. night all! #kidlitchat |
| 1:56 am | editrixanica: | @AuthorTaraKelly Re: Deathday Letter: Yay! The premise is awesome, but it’s that opening scene that sold me. Too funny. #kidlitchat |
| 1:56 am | sean_ashby: | I have a list, but then I end up going to the library and picking up something totally unplanned! #kidlitchat #kidlitchat |
| 1:56 am | dosankodebbie: | @WriterRoss I’m in Japan, the far north wilderness of Japan in fact. Far from cosmopolitan Tokyo. #kidlitchat |
| 1:56 am | cjomololu: | Did we already throw in Will Grayson and The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin? Two great boy voices. #kidlitchat |
| 1:56 am | WriterRoss: | @Lisawrites4kids 2011. So soon. Congrats. I knew you when. {} #kidlitchat |
| 1:57 am | DDHearn: | @dosankodebbie It sounds like you might be in the market for a Kindle. #kidlitchat |
| 1:57 am | WriterRoss: | @JenniferTrafton Troubled by the same limitations of time and space and Books To Be Read. :{ #kidlitchat |
| 1:57 am | LaurelSnyder: | @JenniferTrafton I think I try new books for inspiration, pleasure. I go back to old books to STUDY. To learn how they work. #kidlitchat |
| 1:57 am | marypearson: | @Lisawrites4kids I just popped in Lisa : ) #kidlitchat |
| 1:58 am | WriterRoss: | RT @LaurelSnyder: I think I try new books for inspiration, pleasure. I go back to old books to STUDY. To learn how they work. #kidlitchat |
| 1:58 am | dncallahan: | @cjomololu Triggering Town is where a group of writers can colaborate and create a story based on setting that can go anywhere #kidlitchat |
| 1:58 am | AuthorTaraKelly: | @marypearson Hey, there editor sister #kidlitchat |
| 1:58 am | Lisawrites4kids: | @WriterRoss #kidlitchat We go way back, Pam!! 2011 is soon! #kidlitchat |
| 1:59 am | bonnieadamson: | Wow, thanks for tips on al the great new titles out this year–be sure to check the transcript (I know I’ve missed some!) #kidlitchat |
| 1:59 am | WriterRoss: | @dncallahan Where is this? Is it open to new people? #kidlitchat |
| 1:59 am | dncallahan: | @cjomololu each person starts writing then shares then all write again using each other’s characters inthe next writing section. #kidlitchat |
| 2:00 am | AuthorTaraKelly: | @dncallahan That sounds…awesome!! #kidlitchat |
| 2:00 am | dosankodebbie: | @bonnieadamson Thanks for all the great book titles. I will sort them right away and check with the #kidlitchat transcript later. |
| 2:00 am | sean_ashby: | I basically only re-read Douglas Adams. Don’t know why, but I can’t get enough of him. #kidlitchat |
| 2:00 am | dncallahan: | @cjomololu The idea comes from a book called Triggering Town. Sorry about the bad description there. #kidlitchat |
| 2:00 am | LaurelSnyder: | @dncallahan Well, it’s also a book by Dick Hugo. Which is the link I posted before… #kidlitchat |
| 2:01 am | DDHearn: | I better run. I’ll look forward to the transcript to get some more titles to add to my “impossible to read them all” list. #kidlitchat |
| 2:01 am | bonnieadamson: | Goodnight, everyone–thanks for coming! #kidlitchat |
| 2:01 am | dosankodebbie: | RT @LaurelSnyder: I think I try new books for inspiration, pleasure. I go back to old books to STUDY. To learn how they work. #kidlitchat |
| 2:01 am | AuthorTaraKelly: | I’d love to co-author a book with someone, but most authors want nothing to do with that. #kidlitchat |
| 2:02 am | LaurelSnyder: | @AuthorTaraKelly I’m always asking people to write things together, and then backing out. I wonder why. Control, most likely. #kidlitchat |
| 2:02 am | donalynbooks: | Engage in my crazy #bookaday challenge every summer (teacher & school’s out). Manage to read lots of books I miss all year. #kidlitchat |
| 2:03 am | AuthorTaraKelly: | @LaurelSnyder I think it works best when each author writes from a different POV, rather than trying to merge into one. #kidlitchat |
| 2:05 am | Lisawrites4kids: | @marypearson #kidlitchat I’m looking forward to the sequel! |
| 2:06 am | LaurelSnyder: | @AuthorTaraKelly Yeah, that makes sense… #kidlitchat |
| 2:07 am | marypearson: | @Lisawrites4kids I am revising the sequel right now. Just taking a break. Glad you are looking forward to it : ) #kidlitchat |
| 2:08 am | WriterRoss: | @LaurelSnyder Same reason why screenwriting stifles me. Edit my work, but please don’t re-write it out of existence. :> #kidlitchat |
| 2:08 am | adamselzer: | Collaborating is either a lot of fun or a big pain. Usually a lot of fun, in my experience, til you get down to rewrites. #kidlitchat |
| 2:08 am | marypearson: | @WriterRoss Was that Longer Letter Later? #kidlitchat |
| 2:10 am | cjomololu: | @dncallahan Got it. Sounds slightly frightening. #kidlitchat |
| 2:10 am | vleemahoney: | @EgmontUSA I still can’t get over Beth’s book cover. It’s simply gorgeous. #kidlitchat |
| 2:10 am | WriterRoss: | @marypearson Oh yes! Thank YOU, Mary. Name was not coming to me. Miss that book (and Paula D). {} #kidlitchat |
| 2:12 am | dncallahan: | Good night you beautiful, wonderful people and thanks for the chat. #kidlitchat |
| 2:13 am | marypearson: | @WriterRoss Yes, Paula D was a rare breed. Very open and welcoming to this newbie. #kidlitchat |
