Cybils 2013 Middle Grade Speculative Fiction Oct7 Here are a few ideas for nominees for the Cybils category, Middle Grade Speculative Fiction (Science Fiction and Fantasy): The Spies of Gerander by Frances Watts. Book Two in the series, The Song of the Winns. I just read this sequel and liked it even better than I did the first in the series, Song of the Winns. The pace is picking up, and I’m starting to fall for the mice characters. In fact, it’s been a good year for talking mice characters. Darkbeast Rebellion by Morgan Keyes. Reviewed at Charlotte’s Library. The Quirks: Welcome to Normal by Erin Soderberg. Reviewed at Charlotte’s Library. Cake: Love, Chickens and a Taste of Peculiar by Joyce Magnin, reviewed at Semicolon. A Whole Lot of Lucky by Danette Haworth. Reviewed at Redeemed Reader. Risked by Margaret Peterson Haddix. One of my favorite middle grade/YA authors. Listening for Lucca by Suzanne LaFleur. Reviewed at A Garden Carried in the Pocket. The Incredible Charlotte Sycamore by Kate Maddison. Reviewed at Charlotte’s Library.
