So well deserved. ONE LONG LINE is a must for every school library. It's a ground-breaking new genre: the HOWdunnit.
So thrilled to see ONE LONG LINE on this incredible Editors' Choice list. A happy shout out to illustrator Jamie Green, whose art brought this story to life. Thank you for including us, @ala-booklist.bsky.social!
