By the Light of the Silvery Moon Poolside Gala: Photos...

Each year at the annual summer conference, SCBWI puts on a themed party by the pool with Mexican food and a rockin deejay. Oh--they also encourage theme-based costumes. Take a look.

Newbery winner Linda Sue Park made her outfit from duct tape and ribbons.
