March Madness Results!

I know that March Madness has stretched pretty far past March, through April and into May, but there were so many excellent contenders that it just turned out that way.

We started with 32 pairs of characters from different YA books and each week I challenged you to choose your favorite between the two. It was no easy task. Some hearts were broken. I had to break some ties, because you all equally loved some characters. It was difficult but so fun to see who got to move onto each new round as I tallied the votes on Tuesday nights.

And I'm excited to announce our final champion! Drumroll please....

Annabeth Chase!
  That's right, daughter of Athena, architect of the remodeled Mount Olympus, and long suffering girlfriend of a certain seaweed brained demigod is this year's winner of the YA March Madness! 

Have you read The Mark of Athena yet? If you have, come talk to me about! And are you excited about the Sea of Monsters movie?

Now. What should our theme be for next year's March Madness?

DFTBA,
Sti

I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite!
