Tomorrow is the big day when the Youth Media Awards are announced. I hope to watch them live, but that means I will have to get to school extra extra early. Or take the morning off. You can watch them live here.
There are many books I hope to see honored at the ALA YMA and I think today is a good day to share a few of them with you, in no particular order.
