Cybils finalists are up!

January 1, 2007 by

The Cybils are the bloggers’ awards for children’s and young adult books. They have five finalists in each of their two graphic novels categories:

12 and under:

Amelia Rules, vol. 3
Babymouse: Beach Babe
The Baby-Sitters Club: Kristy’s Great Idea
Kat and Mouse
To Dance: A Ballerina’s Graphic Novel

13 and up:

American Born Chinese
Castle Waiting
Dramacon, vol. 2
Flight, vol. 3
La Perdida

Manga makes a fairly poor showing, which partly reflects the original list, which was dominated by other graphic novels. Still, there were some strong possibilities. The final picks should be in sometime in February.

    Actually, I think that Kat & Mouse and Dramacon make two very GOOD showings, but admittedly, I’m a little biased. =)

    No argument there, Tim, I just wish there were more like them!

    Hey, what can I say? We were slow to get word out to the Manga and Graphic Novels crowd. My bad. We’re just grateful fans discovered us and nominated as many books as they did (35). Now we know where to send word next year, right?

    Cheers,
