2016 Mark Twain Nominee Rankings and Predictions...

10  Rain Reign  by Ann M. Martin
9.9---Pennyroyal Academy by M.A. Larson
9.6---All Four Stars by Tara Dairman
9.5---Red Berries, White Clouds, Blue Sky by Sandra Dallas
9---Space Case  by Stuart Gibbs
8.9---The Missing Pieces of Me by Jean Van Leeuwen
8.5---Junction of Sunshine and Lucky  by Holly Schindler
8.4---A Million Ways Home by Dianne Doris Winget
8.2---Zane and the Hurricane by Rodman Philbrick
8---half a chance by Cynthia Lord
7.2---Loot by Jude Watson
7---Pack of Dorks by Beth Vrabel

Okay, I think Rain Reign is the best book, but will it win...It depends on the readers.  Pennyroyal Academy has a great chance especially if there are a lot of fantasy readers, really way better than I expected and I loved it!!  All Four Stars was also very good.  Space Case is another standout by Stuart Gibbs.  He really has creativity an d"tween" humor in the bag.  I loved his book Belly Up, a few years back. All of my 9's and above have a very good chance...Rain Reign, is just incredible from so many different angles.
