Then in February, 2012 they will vote through our online library catalog for their choice. All of our results are sent to the state committee. Then in March, 2012 the state winner is announced. Both Mrs. Wilson and I have read all 20 nominees and we agreed that there is no clear cut winner like The Hunger Games of last year. However, all 20 books are great! There is something for everyone -- from fantasy and scifi to historical and adventure to sports and animals. We can also boast this year that we have 12 of the nominees in audiobook format, mostly as Playaways, self-contained, electronic devices. On Monday the 6th graders will listen as I booktalk all 20 nominees and then make their choice for their first book report. I will also show students how they can place their own reserves online for other nominees they want. To see the list of the 2012 nominees, check out the link on our webpage.
