Check out the Cybils!
What are the Cybils?
Like all revolutions, this one started small, with a single post on a blog devoted to children's literature. The Newbery Medals seemed too elitist and the Quills, well, not enough so.
Was there a middle ground, an annual award that would recognize both a book's merits and popularity?

Within days, the new awards had a name and a website: The Cybils, a loose acronym for Children's and YA Bloggers' Literary Awards. Nominations quickly opened in eight categories, from picture books up to Young Adult fiction and even graphic novels.
Well after many, many months of waiting, they have published the list. Check out the best in the following categories:
Great way to find great recommendations for your kids (and your own!) reading enjoyment.
Have fun!
