2015 Judge: Jo Knowles
Jo Knowles is the award-wining author of See You at Harry’s, Jumping Off Swings, Living with Jackie Chan and other books for teens. Her new novel, Read Between The Lines, has been described as “masterfully woven” in a starred review from Kirkus and will be published in March 2015. Jo is a pacifist by nature and fond of the term “no judgies,” so this endeavor is going to be a challenge. But for the love of books, she’s willing to step into battle.
