I am overjoyed to announce WHAT I CARRY is a finalist for Washington State’s EVERGREEN AWARD! Young Adult Librarians in our beautiful PNW State determine a list of their favorite YA books, then teen readers vote all year for a winner. This is an honor I am especially grateful for, as this is my beloved home state and also look at all those incredible books and authors! This is truly humbling. Read them all and thank me later. And thank you so much to the Evergreen Award librarians, readers, and voters. I love you all!
