The 2011 Nonfiction for MG/YA Judges

 

Geez, some of these headlines are a mouthful. MG stands for Middle Grade and YA for Young Adult, for those of us without an MLS degree. This category has been a black hole for organizers and we tend to lose them at a tragic rate. Fortunately, it’s always been staffed by wonderful volunteers who can be counted on to produce a dazzling set of winners in this oft-overlooked genre. This year’s organizer is Gina Ruiz, and we’re hoping nothing happens to her, but no promises.
