Are you ready to participate in the Young Readers' Choice Awards (YRCA) for 2014? I'm excited to see how many students participate this year. Last year we had over 100! There are eight books in each category. This year at Eagle Cliffs you will be able to part in the Junior or Intermediate Divisions, or both. In order to vote in March, you must read at least two books from the division you are taking part in. All books can be found on the YRCA table. If you check a YRCA book out, please return it to the table when you check it back in so other students can easily find the book. If you cannot find the title you're looking for, I suggest you place a hold on it and it will be delivered to you personally when it's available. Please read the YRCA books as quickly as possible so others can participate too. For those that read all books in a division, I will have a special award for them. Please come see me when you are finished with all eight books. And the nominees for 2014 are: Junior Division: Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick 13 Gifts by Wendy Mass The worst years of my life by James Patterson Darth paper strikes back by Tom Angleberger The last council by Kazu Kibuishi Big Nate out loud by Lincoln Peirce The Medusa plot by Gordon Korman Intermediate Division: The son of Neptune by Rick Riordan Between shades of gray by Ruta Sepetys Scorpio races by Maggie Stiefvater Okay for now by Gary D. Schmidt The outcasts by John Flanagan Legend by Marie Lu Michael Vey: the prisoner of cell 25 by Richard Evans This dark endeavor by Kenneth Oppel
