Maud Hart Lovelace Award: The 2011 Winners

Our book club met at the Red Balloon Bookshop on April 25 to hear the winners announced.  The evening included a presentation by Maud herself (an actress from the Minnesota History Center) who told us stories about her life, and a drawing for ten $30 Red Balloon gift cards in honor of the 30th anniversary of the award.  (Some of us won these!  Hooray!)

Both divisions had the same winner:  Deep and Dark and Dangerous by Mary Downing Hahn.  Second place in both divisions went to Found by Margaret Haddix.  Third place Division I winner was The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davis, and third place in Division II was Someone Named Eva by Joan M. Wolf.  You can read more about the award here.
