I was a proud Cybils panelist back in 2006; our Nonfiction: Middle Grade & YA top five list totally rocked.

Last year I was even prouder to see TRACKING TRASH nominated in that same category; sharing a list with names like Kathleen Krull, Peter Sis, Adrian Dingle, Ibtisam Barakat, Eve Drobot and Russell Freedman was quite a thrill.

What titles will take home top Cybils honors this year? I have my eyes on a few favorites; if you have thoughts on the matter, you only have until October 15 to make them known. Get on over there and nominate a book!
