My pals at Boing Boing have been fantastically enthusiastic about my new book, and I really appreciate it. They ran my announcement of the book's publication on Tuesday, and they invited me to write an essay about the book's kid-lit influences, which runs today:
Six great kid-lilt books and comics that helped inspire Alien Invasion in My Backyard.
Thanks to the whole gang at Boing Boing, and in particular Cory Docotorw, Mark Frauenfelder and Rob Beschizza.
