Fired Up! Ready to Read! CT Nutmeg Books!

Which Book Will Knock Your Socks Off?
The Connecticut Nutmeg Book Award nominees for 2010 were announced earlier this month. Connecticut kids are now faced with two opportunities. The first opportunity is about making 'me' time to read 10 nominated books between now and January 2010. The second opportunity is much more powerful. Next January, kids will be asked which of 10 nominated books knocked their socks off, hands down, no buts about it...

The nominees for grades 7-8 are:

Accidental Love by Gary Soto
Code Orange by Caroline Cooney
Crackback by John Coy
Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick
Epic by Conor Kostick
Eyes of the Emperor by Graham Salisbury
Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Pieces of Georgia by Jen Bryant
Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
