Yesterday our Kickstarter for The Best Book ended without our reaching our funding goal. If you are one of the 567 backers who pledged to our campaign, thank you! (Reminder: your credit card will not be charged.)

It’s clear that our theme of “let kids read what they want” has some very real appeal, especially to teachers and librarians. Over 10% of the nearly $20,000 we raised were outright donations, and we received many messages of support imploring us to find a way to make this book happen.

And so we are hard at work on next steps. As soon as we figure it out we’ll let you know. We are so grateful to everyone who pledged and helped spread the word.
