In last week’s Friday Finds, I promised a copy of Rachel Hawkin’s upcoming and brilliant new novel Rebel Belle to one randomly selected commenter on the post. And the winner is *drumroll*  Incredibrarian! Yay!!! Thanks to everyone who commented to enter this special secret giveaway. 
Incredibrarian, I emailed you at the address I found on your blog The Incredible Librarian – I hope you still check it!

Around the Web
Eleanor & Park, the fabulous YA novel by the even more fabulous Rainbow Rowell, may be getting a movie – and Rainbow has been hired to write the screenplay! (Thank goodness!) Read some of Rainbow’s thoughts here. 

Read the official ALA response to Representative Paul Ryan’s proposed elimination of the Institute of Library and Museum Services.

Read this 3 part piece on the decline of student testing in one of its flagship states – Texas. (Really, it’s worth it.)

Here is Laurie Halse Anderson being smart about the current media take on YA.

Would you be willing to pay 69 cents for that 68 cent box of mac and cheese to lift a family out of poverty?
