Cybils Finalists 2017

The finalists of the 2017 Cybils Awards, from board books to YA speculative fiction. Cybils Awards are given to books that straddle the needs of both kids and adults -- they are books that kids love to read and adults love to share with them. Sometimes the sharing is done by reading to them, sometimes it's just a delight in giving or recommending a book, but it's a book that sparks joy from both directions. One team of judges, drawn from anyone who reviews books on the internet, selects the finalists; a second team picks the winners. Here are the finalists!
