Summer Blog Blast Tour 2010 Starts Today!

For those kidlit aficionados out there, you'll be happy to know that today is the kick off of the annual Summer Blog Blast Tour. This means an entire week of fantastic author interviews! (The full week's schedule can be found over at Chasing Ray.)

I'm especially looking forward to tomorrow's interview with Rita Williams-Garcia at Fuse #8. I recently read One Crazy Summer and loved the way she balanced humor and powerful moments in a story about three young girls who spend a summer at a Black Panthers day camp in the 1960s.

Today's SBBT interviews:

• Kate Milford at Chasing Ray
• Mac Barnett at Fuse Number 8
• Hazardous Players at Finding Wonderland
• Malinda Lo at Shelf Elf
• Barbara Dee at Little Willow
