We were so busy getting excited about it on Facebook, we forgot to blog about it. The Flytrap Snaps is now a finalist in the LIANZA Children's Book Awards - which have a long history and are given each year by librarians. We're ecstatic!
You can see all the finalists and read more about it here.

There were 24, now there are two ...
Nepenthes rigidifolia is a species of giant pitcher plant that grows in a single, small area of Sumatra, Indonesia. It's so endangered that there are thought to be only two left in the wild!
Twenty-four specimens have been discovered in the past, but habitat destruction has all but wiped them out.
More information here.
Thanks to Simon Eyre for the link.
