The 2008 National Book Award finalists have been announced! For the teen reads, scroll down to the bottom of the page. There are also links to previous years' winners and finalists- last year's winner, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, is one of my favorites. Stay tuned for the announcement of the winners on November 19.
FYI, What I Saw and How I Lied and The Spectacular Now won't be pub'd until 11/1 and 11/11, respectively, so don't start hunting for those yet!
