Thanks, everybody, for posting the results of your mock award discussions. It's interesting to see what has been discussed and chosen
-- and how little clear consensus there seems to be around the nation. I think that more than anything else, this is an indication of what a great year 2008 has been for children's and YA books. We have so many outstanding books to choose from! From recent news, we know that our colleagues in the publishing world are struggling and we know we can no longer take these excellent books for granted.
The actual awards will be announced next Monday morning in Denver, beginning at 7:45 MT. You can watch the announcements live through streaming video at http://ala.unikron.com/ Full information about finding out about the winners is on the ALA website at: http://www.ala.org/ala/newspresscenter/news/pressreleases2008/december2008/youthmediaawardsannouncement.cfm
Once the awards are announced, we invite you to offer your responses on CCBC-Net.
Happy reading!
