(Not Actual Award)
(Actual Cybil Award--or, at least, the award I gave myself.Look at that great lil' tractor!)
I learned over the weekend that Rapunzel's Revenge won a Cybil Award For Best Elementary/Middle Grade Graphic Novel. The Cybils are awarded by the children's publishing blogosphere. Thank you bloggers!
The judges said, “What made this book stand out to the judges was that it takes a well-known story and does something recognizable, but unique, creating an adventure which readers of both sexes can enjoy. Those readers will get swept up in the rawness of the emotions presented. The art is bright and leaps from the pages, but the images don’t overshadow the story or mask weaknesses in the plot. The story and images carried the weight equally, were well-paced, engaging, and generally solid.”
Nominated by Elizabeth.
