Rated YA-MA discussion

The nominating genre for May is HISTORICAL FICTION. We are asking you to nominate any book classified as YA historical fiction that is not already on our GROUP BOOKSHELF. All standard nominating rules apply (see below).

Nominating Rules:
- Nomination Period: starts April 7 and will stay open for 7 days or until we have enough valid nominations.
- You may nominate multiple books and the mods will triage the list if necessary.
- All nominations need to be classified as YA unless the nominating category specifically allows exceptions.
- Books must be first in a series or a standalone.
- Books must be at least 3 months old.
- Books must be available in print and not just ebook form. It is helpful to nominate books that are easy to access; so that members do not struggle to acquire the book if it wins in the polls.
- No author promotions allowed.

Next Steps: After nominations, the books will go to a poll to determine the winner.

I will start things off with this non-standard nomination. It is a graphic novel, historical fiction: Courage to Dream: Tales of Hope in the Holocaust by Neal Shusterman. I read it already and found it quite interesting.

I'm going to go with Witch Child

More nominations??
