BFYA rocks!

These seven great upper school students gave up an entire Sunday to attend the ALA conference in Dallas and offer feedback on the Best Fiction for Young Adults list nominees.  Their opinion of the conference?  Awesome!

They've been reading from the list of nominations since September and had a great time not only in giving their opinions to the committee, but also in getting ARCs in the exhibit hall and being treated to a pizza lunch by the super folks at Penguin.

Most of their favorites made the final list, and their only disappointment was in remembering that the conference won't be held in the Dallas area next year so they can make a repeat performance!
