Neil Gaiman has just won another award for The Graveyard Book. What next? The Booker? The Pulitzer Prize? The Nobel? I mean, he's a lovely man, and TGB was a nice book, but, come on, honestly, all you readers out there, there ARE other books and other authors...

Actually, I won the Newbery.

Thanks, Lady Schrapnell, for the keen observation that I am barking.

But I'm afraid I must correct all of you. For I, James Kennedy, won the Newbery from Neil Gaiman fair and square. I tackled him at the ALA conference and wrestled it away from him; then I bested Mr. Gaiman in a series of mental and physical trials, thus proving the legitimacy of my claim.

Thank you. Please modify your lives accordingly.

Hahaha thank you for dropping by! And I've always suspected that Neil Gaiman's work was bee-written. I'm sure that analysis of line lengths and number of syllables will demonstrate that mystical numbers of significance to bees are embedded in the texts and that it will spell out a message of hope and solidarity to all bees in the world (transmitted via the audio versions of Gaiman's books).
