About

If you love books, especially those written for children and young adults, then you are an honorary member of The Nerdy Book Club. Like us, you probably always have a book along to read, a title to recommend, and time to talk about works held dear.

This online space was designed to give us a home to share that love of reading with others as well as to organize voting and announcing winners of our First Annual Nerdies Book Awards.

Websites don’t make or maintain themselves though. This one has three facilitators who work hard to keep this place running smoothly.

Donalyn Miller is a 6th grade language arts teacher at Trinity Meadows Intermediate School in Keller, TX. Donalyn is the author of The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child, and she currently writes a blog, The Book Whisperer, for Education Week Teacher. Donalyn lives atop a dragon’s hoard of unread books and spends her spare time traveling, visiting old friends, and daydreaming in the pages. You can find her on Twitter @donalynbooks.

Colby Sharp is a 4th grade teacher.You can find him on Twitter @colbysharp.

Cindy Minnich makes her home in the lovely river town of Millersburg, PA with her husband, son, and a menagerie of fuzzy children. She teaches 9th and 12th grade English at Upper Dauphin Area High School. Maybe she shouldn’t admit this, but she probably likes technology almost as much as she loves books. You can find her on Twitter @CBethM.
