I been a Middle Grade Fiction Cybils judge for five years now and I have had the pleasure of reading some wonderful books and working with some great people, all of whom were serious about the work we were doing. Now, I am happy to say, I will be the Middle Grade Fiction chairperson this year. Ms. Yingling has decided to try other things and I am looking forward to taking on this new phase in my Cybils life.
