CASE OF THE CRYPTIC CRINOLINE nominated for Edgar Award!!

Nancy Springer is no stranger to the Edgar Award, having won in the Best Juvenile category not once, but twice--for LOOKING FOR JAMIE BRIDGER in 1994 and for TOUGHING IT in 1996.

But two things make her current nomination for 2009 Edgar Award THE CASE OF THE CRYPTIC CRINOLINE extra-special: this is the second time that Springer's critically-acclaimed Enola Holmes series, starring the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes, has been nominated for the award; the first title in the series, THE CASE OF THE MISSING MARQUESS, was also up for the award in 2006.

Secondly, the double nomination for the series (could it be Springer's third win?) will likely to provide a nice boost to the concluding chapter in the Enola Holmes saga: CASE OF THE GYPSY GOODBYE, coming May 2010!
