Cybils Shortlist Announced

Cybils shortlists have been announced... and I'm very excited to see that one of the books that I nominated has made it to the finalists: Have Fun, Anna Hibiscus by Atinuke, in the easy readers/early chapter books category. Oh, I'm really rooting for it to win. I love that whole series. I do not envy the Cybils Round II judges - there are some very fine books in all the categories. Looking over the lists myself, I find it impossible to come up with any predictions on who the final winners might be, since they all seem so good!
