@MindyAlyseWeiss Can’t wait! Thank you to Mindy, her team, all the judges and everyone who put so much effort into this contest so that others could shine.

[Susan Orton @SusanOrton6]

@MindyAlyseWeiss This is spectacular! Yes, 70 is a great number! Nice job!

[Susan Orton @SusanOrton6]

@MissKayMW4 I think Kelly Barnhill’s The Ogress and the Orphans would be a great read aloud for fourth grade. There is so much there for them to unpack on their own. . It’s a 10+ in my estimation.

[Susan Orton @SusanOrton6]

@pamkramer @MissKayMW4 I just received my copy of Max in the House of Spies by Adam Gidwitz today! Bought from Books of Wonder for a family friend in sixth grade.

[Susan Orton @SusanOrton6]

@kidlitworks @sara_h_ackerman @simonschuster I can’t wait for this new book from Sara Holly Ackerman! It’s a fun ride! Congratulations, Sara!
