Congratulations to Newbery Honor author Cynthia Lord, whose debut picture book, HOT ROD HAMSTER (Scholastic Press, 2010), illustrated by Derek Anderson, just zoomed onto the Publishers Weekly Bestseller List. Vroom, vroom!

We're happy to report that Margaret Peterson Haddix's SENT, Book 2 of THE MISSING series, is on THE NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller list for the fourth time in the four weeks since it was released.
