As a New Yorker, I am thrilled to receive this news!

The Awards Committee voted for its top four choices in each category and The Knish War on Rivington Street was chosen as a nominee for:

Outstanding Achievement in Fiction Book Writing

(published October 1, 2016- September 30, 2017)

Excited about the 4th Annual GANYC Apple Awards ceremony in March, to be hosted by

Brian Stokes Mitchell! Never knew there was a special award for books about New York.

I'm especially delighted that The Knish War is the only children's book on the list!

Thank-you GANYC!
