From: Betty Carter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2007 10:47 PM To: Children's Round Table Subject: [crt] TBA Award Winner: Things that go bump in the night Joe Hayes, author of Ghost Fever/Mal de fantasma has won the Texas Bluebonnet Award for 2006-07. This year, almost 170,000 youngsters from across the State voted for the award. Ghost Fever received 23,580 votes to win. It is the first time that an author of a dual language book has received this award. As I looked over the two books, The SOS Files and The Lightning Thief (second and third place winners respectively), I kept thinking that I was hearing someone whisper in my ear: "Danger, danger, Will Robinson," because each of these top three books contained in youngsters facing varying hazards and risks. The SOS Files received 20, 529 votes and The Lightning Thief received 19,574 votes. Coming in fourth was Good Dog with 18,455 votes and fifth was The Toughest Cowboy with 14,407 votes. I thank each of you for your support of the program and for the incredible effort you made to get these and related books into the hands of kids.
