Edgar Nominees

The 2010 Edgar nominees have been announced! Check them all out on Sarah Weinman's blog.

I thought I would list all the 'Best Juvenile' noms, since that's the topic here and all. I was happy to find I have read none of these, so more for the TBR pile.

Quick footnote: the MWA/Edgar people lump Children's, YA and middle-grade in the same category, so check out the titles and suggested age range before diving in, in case this matters to you. I did a quick check, and listed the age group after the title (only one YA in there, sad to say).

Anyway, here are the nominees in the juvenile category; congrats to the authors, and happy reading to the rest of us:


BEST JUVENILE:

The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity (Middle-Grade) by Mac Barnett
The Red Blazer Girls: The Ring of Rocamadour (Children's) by Michael D. Beil
Closed for the Season (YA) by Mary Downing Hahn
Creepy Crawly Crime (Children's) by Aaron Reynolds
The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline (Children's) by Nancy Springer
