I just learned that
Planet Hunter was named a
2010 Honor Book by the
Society of School Librarians International (SSLI)!
The purpose of the SSLI "is to speak singularly and forcefully for the unique needs of school librarians in the educational community." SSLI's website is full of links to articles and presentations about teaching and curriculum support for librarians and teachers.
Each year the organization selects the best books in Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. This year,
Planet Hunter won an Honor Book award in the "Science - Grades 7-12" category.
