 We are thrilled to share that Inky the Octopus by Erin Guendelsberger, illus. by David Leonard, is on the 2019-2020 Florida Sunshine State Jr. list. The Sunshine State Jr. List (SSYRA Jr) is sponsored by the Florida Association for Media in Education. The mission of the program is to “develop student interest in reading for pleasure by exposing them to a wide range of appropriate literature. Sunshine State Jr. books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and/or multicultural representation.”  We are happy to share that After the Fire by Will Hill and Illegal by Eoin Colfer and Andrew Donkin, illus. by Giovanni Rigano, are 2020 Rhode Island Book Award nominees! After the Fire is a 2020 nominee for the Rhode Island Teen Book Award, and Illegal is a 2020 nominee for the Rhode Island Middle School Book Award. The Rhode Island Teen Book Award is sponsored by the School Librarians of Rhode Island (SLoRI) and the Rhode Island Library Association (RILA). The goal of the award is to promote quality literature for teens by highlighting well-written books that will encourage teens not only to read more, but discuss the books they read with others. The Rhode Island Middle School Book Award is also sponsored by the SLoRI and RILA, and aims to serve the same purpose as the teen book award, but for students in grades 6, 7 and 8.
