So the Cybils Short Lists have been posted! In the Middle Grade arena, the survivors are:
Chains, by Laurie Halse Anderson
Captain Nobody, by Dean Pitchford
Anything but Typical, by Nora Raleigh Baskin
Heart of a Shepard, by Rosanne Parry
All the Broken Pieces, by Ann Burg
Operation Yes, by Sara Lewis Holmes
The Small Adventures of Popeye and Elvis, by Barbara O'Connor
I've read 4 of the 7, so I have to get on it! There are some titles that I thought were sure fired short list contenders that didn't make the cut. I am genuinely surprised. But this is the thing about the Cybils: you never know what is going to happen!
Do you have a favourite on this list?

Hi,
i just discovered your blog and it is very useful! i will recommend it to our children's librarian here at the American Library in Paris (americanlibraryinparis.org)
where i do remote research.
and i know only one title on this short list, how is that for catching up:-)?
are you on twitter?
i would also recommend you to have the "share this" button on your site, it would help to get the word out!
greetings from Paris, Andrea Delumeau aka 3samovar on twitter
Hi! I liked Anything But Typical. I'm doing the Comment Challenge, but I wanted to say that I already subscribe to your blog, and I think I'll drop in my follower information as well. I've been meaning to comment for a long time, just never got around to it. ;)
