2023 CYBILS Judges: Fiction for Tweens and Teens

The Middle-Grade and Young Adult Fiction categories comprise books that are grounded in reality. The world as it was or is: contemporary or historical, funny or mysterious, romantic or adventurous, sport-centric or coming of age. These are the stories that nudge readers to self-discovery, open windows to others' experiences, and let them see the world. It's pain, its flaws, its joy, and its beauty.

These judges will be looking for those titles that kids can't stop talking about and, with great enthusiasm (and maybe a little drama) give to a friend and say, “You HAVE to read this.”
