Geek of the Week

(An unconventionally sweet and awesome honor!)

Shel Silverstein...yawn. Judy Blume...who dat? Do not even mention Stan Berenstain; he in ‘da past, umm-hmm. Dr. Seuss, that homie ...well, never mind he still throws sweet game from beyond the grave. BUT, there is a new player in the metropolis of Children’s Lit and she is spitting some mad skills, KayLeah Deines(aur).  This prehistoric lizard’s ability to utilize wit, irony, sarcasm, hyperbole, and satire among a host of other elements is understatedly masterful (yes, she would appreciate the use of the previous paradox). Anyway, if you are looking for an invigorating read, and a children’s book not suitable for children (yes, more paradox) I heard she will be signing the copy of her Children’s satire “Stay up - Sleep In” sometime Friday after school.  Congrats KayLeah Deines(aur), English Geek of the Week.
