Those of you who have met this energetic teacher and gifted writer know of what Betsy speaks. The few times I've met Torrey, he makes me feel like I'm ten feet tall and that anything is possible. I just feel lucky to have met this rising star on his way up. Those of you who haven't read "Secret Saturdays" should! Torrey's the real deal. And aw, thanks for pointing out PW's little slip about the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival. I got some inside dope that it was an innocent error, and not a vast publishing-world conspiracy against me, which is the conclusion to which my easily-wounded vanity always leaps. Coverage of Chicago's 90-Second Newbery in February will be more complete, I think. With that out of the way, now my nearly galactic sense of entitlement is given full free rein to dwell on why I wasn't included in the "Dudes of YA Lit-Erotic Photo Spread." My mother has always told me that I'm very handsome when I comb my hair! Yes, I agree, Torrey Maldonado is tops!

You guys are sweet. You know, I hate to say it but I may retire the old Golden Fuse. The thing is, Travis Jonker does something similar at the end of the year and he kind of does it better than I do. But I'll do my 100 Marvelous Books of 2012, you betcha. That's coming soon. Aw, shucks. You guys are sweet. You know, I hate to say it but I may retire the old Golden Fuse.
