Can our judges ever have too many books? Of course not! In fact, Middle-Grade Fiction chair Melissa Fox has discovered a few more books that she really, Really, REALLY hopes get nominated this year. 1/2

Remember yesterday when Beth said she wanted the "best of the best" in Middle-Grade Speculative Fiction? Well, we just so happened to have a list for that. These are the books that Charlotte Taylor (aka @CharlottesLib) wants nominated for her judges. Can you help a reader out?
