The Cybils finalists for the fantasy/scifi category (which I am judging) were finally announced, so I can post them here. They are divided into two categories, Teen/Young Adult and Elementary/Middle Grade. I won’t be commenting on the books during the judging process (I’ve started reading them already), but at some point this month I’ll write about the Cybils in general for the Blog Carnival of Children’s Literature.
