This week at Kirkus...

...I wrote, in a really roundabout way, about Judy Blundell's Strings Attached.

I also put together a list of books I've successfully used to lure adults over to The YA. I realized, after creating the list, that it's quite award-heavy: But then, I've found that while some YAs are turned off by award stickers, adults tend to get reeled right in.

What titles have worked especially well for you?
