2014 Edgar Award Nominees
It’s that time of year again! The Mystery Writers of America have announced the nominees for the 2014 Edgar Awards. As I did last year, I’ll be reading through the YA and juvenile nominees, reviewing them, and then posting my predictions for the winner.
Here’s the list of nominees. Have you read any of them? I haven’t yet!
BEST JUVENILE
Strike Three, You’re Dead by Josh Berk (Random House Children’s Books – Alfred A. Knopf BFYR)
Moxie and the Art of Rule Breaking by Erin Dionne (Penguin Young Readers Group – Dial)
P.K. Pinkerton and the Petrified Man by Caroline Lawrence (Penguin Young Readers Group – Putnam Juvenile)
Lockwood & Co.: The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud (Disney Publishing Worldwide – Disney-Hyperion)
One Came Home by Amy Timberlake (Random House Children’s Books – Alfred A. Knopf BFYR)
BEST YOUNG ADULT
All the Truth That’s In Me by Julie Berry (Penguin Young Readers Group – Viking Juvenile)
Far Far Away by Tom McNeal (Random House Children’s Books – Alfred A. Knopf BFYR)
Criminal by Terra Elan McVoy (Simon & Schuster – Simon Pulse)
How to Lead a Life of Crime by Kirsten Miller (Penguin Young Readers Group – Razorbill)
Ketchup Clouds by Amanda Pitcher (Hachette Book Group – Little, Brown Books for Young Readers)
So many new books to read, so little time! Ketchup Clouds is particularly intriguing by the title alone. I’ll have to look it up!
You’re absolutely right about “Ketchup Clouds”! So many ways that could go!
Lots of unknown titles here–I’m going to try to do the same, and read them all… I’ll look forward to hearing your verdict!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t heard of these! I guess we’ve got some reading to do! I look forward to reading your thoughts, too.
