A lot. In fact, I can think of a lot of people that think he deserves the award. But if you think it's crazy, look at it this way; it could have lost to "After Tupac & D Foster", another Newberry-nominated book about three girls who bond over their love of the music of Tupac. Personally, I'd rather read the dark fantasy book about a boy who was raised by ghosts. Something I find weirder than an opera about Anna Nicole Smith is the Broadway musical about Spider-Man that's coming out next year. The craziest thing: It'll being handled by the director of The Lion King and the music is being written by Bono and The Edge from U2. Not a joke. You know, a lot of people like Neil Gaiman. A lot.
