Looking Back: Where the Mountain Meets the Moon

I was ecstatic last week when I got news that my good friend Grace Lin had won a Newbery Honor Award for her wonderful fantasy novel Where the Mountain Meets the Moon.


I thought I'd put together a little retrospective post with videos of Grace talking about Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, the book trailer, pictures that I took at the launch party for the book, and the celebratory dinner we Blue Rose Girls had after the party.

    Grace,

    It was fun looking back. That was a wonderful launch party for WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON--and a grand celebratory dinner after it. I was so happy to be there with you and the other Blue Rose Girls.

    Now we have an excuse to celebrate all over again!

    Michelle,

    It's nice to hear from you. The launch party for WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON was great. Lots of people attended it--SRO.

    The reading council misses you too. People often inquire about you at our dinner meetings.

    Thanks for these videos, I enjoyed learning about the process behind Grace Lin writing Where the Mountiain Meets the Moon. I've read stellar reviews of the book and I can't wait to read it (trip to Borders this weekend!)
    The launch party looks fun. Congratulations Ms. Lin on the Newberry Honor!
