I'm so excited that I need to digress from the strict mission of this Mock Newbery blog to share some great news. The Cybils -- the Children's and Young Adult bloggers' literary awards -- are just about to start, and I get to be on the judging panel for Middle Grade fiction. I can't wait! (And it will dovetail ever so nicely with our Mock Newbery discussions!)Here's the official information from the Cybils blog:

Let me join the chorus over here -- this is gonna be great!
I have been reading your weblog for a long time - I'm not sure I ever commented on it however. I've used it as a resource for finding great books and keeping up on Newbery buzz...
I am SO excited to be working with you on the MGF panel!
THANKS!
