many things are wonderful about this year's newbery award

The first is the book that won it: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. As always, the man's books are gifts to his readers, but this one was something else.
The second?
His delightfully overwhelmed twitter message, and this fantastic blog post.

Congratulations, you've joined quite the group, and you look to fit right in.
