I don't know how, I don't know why, but my always-has-her-nose-in-a-book daughter has somehow managed (despite her best efforts to stay out of the limelight) to actually win an award!
Of course, it's from a library group. Just more of those peculiar bookish people patting themselves on the back. I mean, who ever heard of the Mountain Plains Library Association's Literary Contribution Award**?
Maybe she'll get a plaque or something. Or the plague. It's downright embarrassing. I swear, they give kids awards for everything these days...
