2024 Middle Grade Speculative Fiction Cybils Finalists

Another Cybils Round 1 is finished! Here are the finalists from my category, Elementary/Middle Grade Speculative Fiction. Click through the link just previous to read the official blurbs, or on the links on individual titles below to read my own reviews. I’m also very excited that my poetry nomination, A Planet is a Poem, is also a poetry finalist!

  • Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell. Illustrated by Ashley Mackenzie. Ebook and audiobook available on Libby, but the print book is so gorgeous I’d recommend reading that if at all possible.
  • Kwame Crashes the Underworld by Craig Kofi Farmer. Ebook and audiobook available on Libby.
  • Max in the House of Spies by Adam Gidwitz. Ebook and audiobook available on Libby.

  1. I have only read Impossible Creatures – looking forward to picking up the rest 😀

  2. I’ve only read Impossible Creatures and Accidental Demons. (I’m leaning toward Demons as my fave of those). I just added as many of the others to my library audiobook wishlist as I could – they’re all already borrowed, so it’ll be a little wait, but that’s a good thing! Means they’re popular!!
