I haven't had a chance to listen to any of these audiobooks, and that might be why others aren't chiming in - yet - with comments either. However, now that the topic is on the virtual table, it occurs to me to ask how the ALSC/YALSA Odyssey Award Committee does its work. Merri, you were a member of that committee a couple of years ago. Did anyone on the committee have a chance to get feedback from kids who had heard the audiobooks under consideration for the award? I'm also wondering approximately how many recorded books were eligible for the Odyssey Award when you were a member of the committee? What can you tell us about the process?
Best, Ginny
