The 2014 MCTBA (Milwaukee County Teen Book Award)

As a member of the Milwaukee County Teen Book Award committee, I have a lot of fun reading books throughout the year that might be potential candidates.  As a committee, we have the task of wheedling all the great books we think are contenders down to just 15 nominees.  This year might have been the easiest year yet.  We all pretty much agreed right away who were our top picks.  And the nominees are....
