Because Detcon's YA Award nominating deadline is the end of February
while all of the others are at the end of March, I propose we start
with the Detcon YA Award discussion tomorrow night, then try and get
through at least half of this year's Hugo ballot. I expect we'll
continue to revisit categories throughout the next several weeks.
The Locus Recommended Reading List has a good selection of YA novels.
The two I helped get on the list are:
The Woken Gods, Gwenda Bond (Strange Chemistry US; Strange Chemistry UK)
Mortal Fire, Elizabeth Knox (Foster)
I have also heard very good things about these three:
Zombie Baseball Beatdown,Paolo Bacigalupi (Little, Brown)
Burning Sky, Sherry Thomas (Balzer + Bray)
More Than This, Patrick Ness (Candlewick; Walker)
The Cat Valente book will be wonderful too, but it is the third (or
maybe fourth) book in a series and unless you have read the others it
might not be worth trying it.
Love 'n' hugs,
