BookExpo America and BAMBOO PEOPLE on Audio

I'm at BookExpo America today in New York City accepting honor awards from the American Booksellers Assocation for Bamboo People in the YA novel category and for myself in the "most engaging author" category. (Pressure's on -- I'd better try and be engaging in my acceptance comments.) I'll also be signing from 2-2:30 in the ABA Booksellers' Lounge.

On the train, I plan to listen to a gift that just arrived from Charlesbridge in the mail:

Here's a lovely review of the audiobook:

Narrator Jonathan Davis rises to the challenge of depicting both sides of an ethnic war with distinct voices and steadfast pacing. Eschewing accents, he clearly portrays characters of both genders and diverse ages and nationalities. Davis’s serious, calm delivery of a few tense scenes makes for a gripping listen.
