I had a blast on the Tattered tour, and I think those who made it through all of the stops had a great time too. But now it has come to an end. After the holidays, I'm going to come up with some more promotional things to help get the word out about Tattered, but until then, I hope you visit all the stops, even though the prizes are gone and learn more about Katie McCabe and other characters in Tattered!!

The time has FINALLY come for me to get Tattered off my hard drive and send it on its way into the world. I am very excited about this for a few reasons. One -- I don't care what book it is, DONE is a beautiful word.

I had just finished up my Middle Grade novel, polished it up and sent it off on a request when I saw something floating past in my Twitter stream. I snatched it up quick before it ran too far down river and here's what I found. Shelley Watters (@Shelley_Watters) reached some milestones, 100 followers on her blog and 500 twitter followers, and she felt like celebrating.

Misfit McCabe Runner Up in Pearson Prize Teen Choice Award

LK Gardner-Griffie — Mon, 18 May 2009 04:26:46 +0000

Back in November last year, I received an email invitation to participate in the Pearson Prize Book Award contest from the Learning For a Cause Organization. I considered it an honor to have been invited to participate in the contest. Misfit McCabe’s target audience is slightly younger than high school students, so I wasn’t sure how it would fare with the high school readers, simply because it might be a little on the young side for them. Imagine my surprise when I received an email with the following message from Michael Sweet:

It is my pleasure to inform you that you are a runner-up for the 2009 Pearson Prize Medal for your title “Misfit McCabe”.
Congratulations. More than 20 teens choose your title as their number one selection from more
than 150 titles!

That Misfit McCabe should be a favorite for more than 20 students and to have been selected as one of the top 3 books out of more than 150 titles is beyond excellent. I am very proud of the accomplishment and so glad that the book was enjoyed by so many.

To leave you with a quote from one of the student judges:

There is an interesting range or varied emotions from crying to laughing to simply secretly smiling to yourself because you can relate to every turn of events. You should definitely read this book.
