45 POUNDS Nominated for 2015 Magnolia Award!

The Magnolia Award is a Children's Choice Award for the State of Mississippi. I'm honored to be nominated and in awe to be in such great company. This means a lot to me because I lived in Jackson, Mississippi when I was in sixth and (part of) seventh grades, the age of many of my readers. Voting will be in February 2015. Thank you, Mississippi readers!
