National Ambassador for Young People's Literature

In a post this past weekend, Roger Sutton talks about selecting the new National Ambassador for Young People's Literature. Currently, it's John Scieszka. Roger's post has a ton of comments with suggestions for the new ambassador (any suggestions, Misfits?), but one asks a great question, which is what exactly did Scieszka DO in this post this past year? I know what he hoped to do and achieve--he lists these goals on the website linked above--but I'm wondering what he really did as an advocate for children's literature and the importance of reading. Anyone know?

Fun book alert!

Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading

I saw this book mentioned in Entertainment Weekly and immediately put it on my list. It looks like something others in this group will like, too.
