The Sunday Salon - Someday My Printz Will Come - November 29, 2010

I've posted a lot about the Mock Newbery clubs I'm participating in as they occupy a lot of my time.  I haven't done as much for the Mock Printz clubs because one is online at Goodreads and the irl one has been reading on their own and won't meet until January 5th or so.

But, as I try to line up and complete all my reading in time to judge the second round of YA for The Cybils, I find a need to discuss.  

Books I've Read in Search of Printz

2. Incarceron by Fisher
