Folks, I’m working on a secret project that requires your help. Every year Mock Newberys, Mock Caldecotts, and even the occasional Mock Printz meet to cast their votes about what they deem to be the best books of the year. There is no single source collecting these Mocks, however, so the only way a person might hear about it is if the Mock group has a blog or posts their results on listservs like child_lit and ccbc-net.
I aim to change that. Friends, ‘mericans, countrymen, lend me your Mocks. If you’ve a Mock committee out there that you know of, please send me the results when you hear of them. You can post ‘em here or email me (my email is found my clicking my my name at the start of this post). I shall duly collect them and maybe even make a nice collected list for this blog, posting the results. It’s just fun to see what folks around the country feel about the “contenders”, don’t you think?
Mock me!
You are a true mocking Bird.
