The finalists for the SECOND ANNUAL CHILDREN'S CHOICE BOOK AWARDS

The second annual children's choice book award finalists have been announced. Remember to vote at www.BookWeekOnline.com from March 16 through May 3.

I put in bold what I think is the best books - no pressure for you to vote for that book though.

The favorite book finalists were determined by close to 15,000 children and teens.
