The wonderful librarians of Rhode Island have just published their list of nominees for the 2007
Teen Book Award, and
Monsoon Summer made the list. I'm thrilled, of course! As a between-cultures postscript: just as in Scholastic's
list of best Asian-American reads and
Read Across America suggestions, where I am cited as "Mitala Perkins," my unfamiliar first name is mispelled on Rhode Island's list as "Matali." Would you let it go if this happened to you (a lot)?
