L.A. Times Book Prize nominees announced

And the nominees for Young Adult Fiction are:


Sherman Alexie for "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian"

Geraldine McCaughrean for "The White Darkness"

Walter Dean Myers for "What They Found: Love on 145th Street"

Kenneth Oppel for"Darkwing"

Philip Reeve for "A Darkling Plain"

 

My favorites are the first two listed, but I haven't read any of the others.  The first two are my among my favorite YA books of 2007.  Alexie's novel is my #1 choice of the year.  It will be interesting to see what takes the prize.
