It made that blurry line between MG and YA very clear. I feel like I am sporting a brand-spanking new pair glasses I didn't even know I needed and suddenly I can see! Awesome notes and thanks so much for sharing! I wonder what Alan would say about this "new" age range they are calling the 'tweens, the official grey zone bridging MG and YA? There was lots of talk about this range at NJ's last June Conference for SCBWI.<BR/><BR/>Oh and your presidential debate posting - brilliant. I laughed out loud! It's slim pickings this election!Sheri Perl-Oshinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025716805041579831noreply@blogger.com
