You could always start small. We started with just staff, but we're going to invite the public this year. Who knows what kind of response we'll get, but it is exciting.<br /><br />Alison, Joanna is right, Printz considers all 2010 publications, even if they were previously published in the UK and elsewhere.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621172640017797805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227580782059501910.post-79012657849285800592010-06-20T18:25:18.710-05:002010-06-20T18:25:18.710-05:00Alison!

I have joked that we need to see what wins in Australia the year before to get our Printz contenders.joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869445294774863048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227580782059501910.post-77851660855765485822010-06-20T11:49:18.065-05:002010-06-20T11:49:18.065-05:00Hey Patti,

The book says copyright 2009, and then first American edition 2010. Do you think it's Printz eligible? I am curious.alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16183057736933457599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227580782059501910.post-67005702536385151912010-06-19T19:02:28.825-05:002010-06-19T19:02:28.825-05:00I wish my library system had a Mock Printz. Oh wel...I wish my library system had a Mock Printz. Oh well.<br /><br /><i>The Sky is Everywhere</i> is one of those books that I. Just. Don't. Get.<br /><br />I do, however, highly recommend <i>Nothing</i> by Janne Teller for your Mock Printz. (I'm not sure I could ever "highly recommend" it for anything else, I found it so harrowing and disturbing. But it's also superbly written/translated and, in some ways, I think it challenges readers' expectations of youth literature.)<br /><br />Shelf Talker recently <a href="http://blogs.publishersweekly.com/blogs/shelftalker/?p=1318" rel="nofollow">updated their list of 2010 books with starred reviews</a>, if you haven't seen it.
