Freak Show named one of the best of 2007 by Washington Post

The Washington Post issued its list for the Best Books for Young People, and what do you know, James St. James's wonderful Freak Show (which tells the story of a budding drag legend adapting to life in a conservative new town) was mentioned as one of the three best books for teens. The piece also referred to the novel as the "funniest young-adult novel of the year -- and a profile in out-of-the-mainstream courage."

Agreed on both counts! Hats (or bonnets, or Pucci scarves) off to St. James for the mention, and if you haven't picked up Freak Show yet, definitely check it out, as well as our interview with the author.
