My personal vote is for @JerryCraft's SCHOOL TRIP. Come on, admit it, we all want to know how the trilogy ends! And it's a wonderful book. https://t.co/Lc1VgYnLDu

@SarahAllenBooks @KileyAWrites LDS? I have to agree! I'd love to see more books featuring that faith. Shannon Hale's REAL FRIENDS books were excellent. And isn't the family in MY LIFE AS A POTATO Mormon, or did I just imagine that?

Today I thought of a children's book I read ages ago. I couldn't remember much except the MC's name (Otto), the medieval setting, and one line: "And Otto had but one hand." Thanks to the wonders of search engines, I found it! OTTO OF THE SILVER HAND by Howard Pyle. https://t.co/qz6eALrISN

A3. Fav dedication? How about this one for COSMOS, by Carl Sagan: “In the vastness of space and immensity of time, it is my joy to spend a planet and an epoch with Annie.” I mean, yowza. #MGBookChat https://t.co/3J1VaJe0rp

@jandersoncoats Such a good question. I loved one Beverly Cleary book, JEAN AND JOHNNY, a lot when I was a kid. Not because it was so much like my world, but because it felt so real and I've always loved that in a book. Cleary really had that gift.

A3. One of my favorite childhood books was KRABAT AND THE SORCERER'S MILL, set at the end of the Thirty Year's War in Europe. It's based on a Wendish legend. I'd love to see another MG book set during that time and in that place. #mgbookchat https://t.co/EgCKZfRv3C

A2. One thing that always surprises and delights me is when the Big Stuff is handled with humor and a wry or light touch. One book I think of is El Deafo, by CeCe Bell. A serious book. But with so much humor. #MGBookChat https://t.co/jfxhRy6rHt
