Heather O’Neill’s debut novel Lullabies for Little Criminals has been garnering rave reviews since it’s release this past October. Cementing her reputation as one of Canada's break-out authors of 2006, O'Neill's book has been included in the 2007 Canada Reads competition, held by CBC Radio, having been nominated by John Samson of The Weakerthans. The book is one of five finalists.

To celebrate her nomination, HarperCollins is throwing a party tomorrow night (December 7) at
UKULA, 492 College, starting at 7 p.m. There will be a short reading by O’Neill at 7:30.
