My Jimi Hendrix bio an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Readers
I just discovered that my children’s biography of Jimi Hendrix for Enslow‘s American Rebels series, Jimi Hendrix: Kiss the Sky, is on the 2008 Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers selection list, announced by the Young Adult Library Services Association at the American Library Association’s ALA Midwinter Meeting back in mid-January.
The Quick Picks list, selected annually, suggests books that teens, ages 12-18, will pick up on their own and read for pleasure; it is geared to the teenager who, for whatever reason, does not like to read.
I’m honored!
