And obviously this is only for British books? I wonder what will be chosen. Humor is such a hard thing to agree upon! I find Colfer's AIRMAN entirely funny at moments but I doubt anyone will categorize it as "humor." Some other books I see as faux-humor (to me, they are just irritating,) others would find utterly irresistible.
I've been the editor in chief of The Horn Book, Inc, since 1996; previously editor of The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books and a children's and young adult librarian. Received my M.A. in library science from the University of Chicago in 1982 and a B.A. from Pitzer College in 1978.
