"Indie bookstores have been absolutely critical to my career--without their support, my life would look very different! There's nobody like an indie bookseller--they have such encyclopedic knowledge of story, and are able to match the right person to the right book like nobody else. I owe them so much, both as a writer and a reader."
--Katherine Rundell, author of Impossible Creatures (illustrated by Ashley Mackenzie, Knopf Books for Young Readers), the #1 September/October Kids' Indie Next List pick, in a q&a with Bookselling This Week.
