If I was going to be at ALA...

If I was in D.C. for ALA these are the ARCs I would be hunting down:

Touch Blue by Cynthia Lord (Scholastic)

Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson (Simon & Schuster)

Bink and Gollie by Kate DiCamillo (Candlewick Press)

Guys Read: Funny Stuff by Jon Scieszka et al. (Walden Pond Press)

The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester by Barbara O'Connor (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)

Memory Bank by Carolyn Coman (Scholastic)

Blank Confession by Pete Hautman (Simon & Schuster)

Selling Hope by Kristin O'Donnell Tubb (Feiwel & Friends)

Kneebone Boy by Ellen Potter (Feiwel & Friends)

I would likely spend the rest of my time standing in line for Rebecca Stead's signature.

oh well maybe next year in the big easy.
