NBA finalists

October 14th, 2008 by Joelle

nba.gif Tomorrow they announce this year’s finalists for the National Book Award. I looked through all my book cards for the year to see if I’ve read any YA that I think might be a finalist (or should be in my opinion!) and discovered I haven’t read a lot of books published this year. Only a dozen or so. That’s what happens when you rely on the library…you’re a year behind. If they asked me, I would include these two (but obviously I haven’t read much of the new stuff, so my chances of predicting any finalists is pretty much slim to none!):

Deb Caletti’s THE FORTUNES OF INDIGO SKYE

Aimee Friedman’s THE YEAR MY SISTER GOT LUCKY

Good luck you two! I hope you win!

    I love Deb’s books- but I haven’t read the other- although it has been on my list since you recommended it. Here’s hoping you’re on the list next year!
