The 2011 Mythopoeic Children's Literature finalists...
...have been announced:
- Catherine Fisher, Incarceron and Sapphique
- Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight
- Polly Shulman, The Grimm Legacy
- Heather Tomlinson, Toads and Diamonds
- Megan Whalen Turner, The Queen’s Thief series, consisting of The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, The King of Attolia, and A Conspiracy of Kings
I love that it's possible for this award to go to an entire series. Although I imagine that some people might feel that comparing a series to a stand-alone is kind of apples and oranges. Probably. I'm okay with it, though.
Either way, I like the idea of looking at the Queen's Thief books as a whole.
