> The children’s lit world lost a champion on June 8 when Frances Foster, a children’s book editor who worked with authors such as Roald Dahl, Louis Sachar, and Peter Sís, died at age 83. SLJ covered Foster back in 2012, when she received the Eric Carle Honor for mentorship, and the unassuming editor shared her remarkable story about how she landed her first editing job through happenstance. In other youth news, ALA announced its first winner of the Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced with Adversity, which will go to a New Orleans youth outreach librarian, Laurence Copel.

> The Fault in Our Stars opened on June 9 to a weekend intake of $50 million, so check out SLJ’s review of the film adaptation of John Green’s hit YA novel.
