Cybils Short List Announced

Nominations for the Cybils are in. Unfamiliar with the term? The Cybils are the first-ever awards for children's and young adult literature judged by bloggers who specialize in kid lit. The idea was born out of the need to reward books that were both popular and smart. See the media release on the awards here. See the short list of nominees here on the Cybils official site. Winners will be announced in February.
