Part of why I refuse to agree that the Printz taking over the upper mg as well as YA will solve all problems. For all its issues, the Newbery is far more likely to award a spec fic book than the Printz.<br /><br />All in all, it makes me sad that good books get excluded because they're not the "right" age group or genre.<br /><br />And yes, I think about this more because I'm such a big MWT fan, but it does hold true for other things as well.Maureen Ehttp://bysinginglight.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-45370455998445173002011-01-11T00:25:22.819-05:002011-01-11T00:25:22.819-05:00I was so excited for Terry Prachett when it was an...I was so excited for Terry Prachett when it was announced.
