I don’t know that I ever could have imagined how exciting it would be to visit amazon.com and see this book that has really consumed my life for the past several years be up there and available to purchase!  When it first went up there was a little issue with a very old draft cover showing, and the wrong publishing date, but thanks to my publisher all of that got cleaned up really quickly.  There is something about it being up on the site with a little “add to shopping cart” button next to it that makes everything feel a little more real somehow.

On Friday night Kicked Out was listed as #60 in a list of top 100 books for kids and teens about homelessness and poverty which just made my day.  Of course like all other aspects of the Amazon ranking system it’s a funky formula, so although I’m checking the books ranking numbers every day I’m trying not to take any of it too seriously.  That said, if you’ve bought Kicked Out & want to add a review up on Amazon when you are finished reading it I will be eternally grateful 🙂
