I&#8217;m super-excited about both of these: they were two of my personal favorites.  (I even gave Rapunzel&#8217;s Revenge to my friend Kate Diamond as part of her wedding present, a bad-ass redhead for a bad-ass redhead.)

Chiggers are a bug that get under your skin and itch; let&#8217;s get that out of the way right off the bat.  In this book, they&#8217;re the plot device that gets one girl out of Abby&#8217;s cabin at camp, and a new girl, Shasta, in.  Shasta claims to have been struck by lightning, [...]]]></description>

(Janes in Love is the nominated book, but I went back and read The Plain Janes first, so I&#8217;ll review them together.  It&#8217;s not necessary background, but it certainly helped.)
PJ opens with a terrorist bomb going off in Metro City, killing a number of people, and injuring more &#8212; including Jane.  She&#8217;s fine, [...]]]></description>

Emi was always kind of a geek by default, but this summer her geeky friends have headed off to a &#8220;young executives retreat.&#8221;  Emi decides that&#8217;s not her scene, so she&#8217;s stuck at home in the Toronto &#8216;burbs, baby-sitting for her American neighbors, the Cutheberts.

The Arrival, Shaun Tan: I almost never say this, but you must all go find this book and &#8220;read&#8221; it now.   (Is it reading if there are no words?  Parse it?  Consume it?
