Midwinter meeting. There is so much I'm looking forward to (not the least of which is getting to meet Maureen in person for the first time). If you follow me on Twitter , you will see many tweets about what I'm experiencing including the hilarity and wisdom that comes from the teen feedback session in the BFYA committee. Of course, what us kidlit enthusiasts are most psyched up for are the announcements of the Youth Media Awards on Monday morning. Here are some of my thoughts on what I hope to see with shiny new stickers on their covers on Monday. The Big Winner: This one should come away with more than one sticker. Let's be honest. We're all going to fall over in shock if it doesn't. It should garner a Coretta Scott King Award, a Newbery (I'm betting THE Newbery and not an honor), and could even snag a Printz (though that is less likely). Some other books I would love to see get some Newbery love </div> <a class='snippet-fade r-snippet-fade hidden'

The Klan is again active in their town of Bumblebee. Fear makes its way across the black community and Stella is questioning all the injustices around her. Why do she and her friends go to a smaller different school? Why do they have less books and older supplies? Why do they all have to live in fear and keep their heads down? But things are changing.

I heard good things about Lindner's first two novel retellings (though I never read them as I don't like the original novels). Love, Lucy  however, is a retelling of a novel I do like, A Room with a View . While I always am excited about reworkings of old favorites, I'm also wary because reworking a classic into a modern tale is not as easy as it sounds.

It may fall short in some areas for readers who have never read A Room with a View  though. Note on cover: Who is that girl???? That is not how Lucy is described in the book.

Round One to an end. Now it's all in the hands of the Round Two panelists. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience as Round One panelist for a second year. Being involved in this process and such a great award is a true privilege. I was a panelist for  MG Speculative Fiction and am rather proud of the finalists  we ended with:   Here are some of the books that were nominated that I really enjoyed (and some of them I LOVE), but which didn't make in on the final list for various reasons.   </div> <a class='snippet-fade r-snippet-fade hidden'
