PROFFESSOR BINGO SAYS CONGRATS!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
2009 NEWBERY AWARD WINNER!

Neil Gaiman's, The Graveyard Book, a spooky tale of a boy raised in a cemetery by ghosts and werewolves, has won the 2009 John Newbery Medal,. This is considered the country’s top prize in children’s literature and was announced yesterday...way to go Neil!

Mary Quattlebaum, from The Washington Post, says about this book that "The book's power lies in Gaiman's ability to bring to quirky life (pun intended) the graveyard's many denizens, including a protective vampire and a feisty medieval witch. Like a bite of dark Halloween chocolate, this novel proves rich, bittersweet and very satisfying."
