The Cbyils Shortlists can be found here. As I mentioned back in October, I was a First Round Panelist for MG Speculative Fiction so that particular list is special to me. Now I know exactly what goes into this process: the work, the discussions, the compromises. I have to say that despite how time consuming it was it was one of my favorite things to do. I hope I have the opportunity to participate again. It was a great experience and I "met" someone wonderful people.
Here is the shortlist my panel decided upon:
Jinx by Sage Blackwood
Lockwood &Co.: The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud
Rose by Holly Webb
Sidekicked by John David Anderson
The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson
The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp by Kathi Appelt
The Water Castle by Megan Frazer Blakemore
All of the other lists are wonderful too. (I particularly like the YA Fiction list.) Go check them all out!
