OOps. I see I’m after the deadline. I concede that Lois’ bid is the winning one and offer huge congratulations. Thanks to you all (Ester, Greg and Lois) for making the Kidlit community so great!
Of course I’m perfectly willing to honor my pledge if Ester finds she has the time to do 2 critiques.
Warm regards to you all,
