I’m SO honored and overjoyed that the New England Independent Booksellers Association has chosen RED, WHITE, AND WHOLE as the winner of the 2021 New England Book Award in Middle Grade! The winners were announced at NEIBA’s Masked Ball, and although the event was virtual, we could all feel the love in the room. I was introduced by Paul Swydan from The Silver Unicorn Bookstore, and he made me tear up! It was a lovely evening, and I afterwards I had a small celebration at home with bubbly and cupcakes! I’m honored to be in the company of all the incredible finalists, and stunned and thrilled to have my book chosen as the winner! Independent booksellers are the best!!
