Sara Zarr is Really Awesome, Part One


Hi guys!

Some of you have seen the little pink-hearted invitations I've been prepping for National Library Week -- and some of you have even seen the little boxes of candy that go with them. We've got somebody very important to thank for that -- the author of one of the most popular new books in the library, Sara Zarr. Sara was nice enough to send us a whole lot of boxes of the promotional Sweethearts candy that were made to promote Sweethearts, her latest novel. You can find out more about Sara in the display in the library.
Sara's first book, Story of a Girl, was widely praised and was nominated for a National Book Award for 2007; Sweethearts is meeting with just as much praise. Of the new books we purchased lately that I've read, this one is the standout and not to be missed. (Yes, Steffi -- there is a hot guy in it.)
But it doesn't stop with candy and great reading. Next week, Sara's agreed to answer Q&A for us on this blog! This is a great opportunity to connect with a real up-and-coming author and learn more about the writing life, and her books. Please brainstorm questions here, or in person in the library, and encourage others to participate!
