I'm going to add Orbiting Jupiter to my top three: A night divided, Orbiting Jupiter and Full Cicada Moon....I think that I would be happy to see any of this year's crop win the medal--the only one I wasn't crazy about was Crenshaw.
EchoThe War That Saved My Life
The Hired Girl
Goodbye Stranger
Listen Slowly
Circus Mirandus
Echo and The Thing About Jellyfish....I loved Orbiting Jupiter and Marvels but they are a little older, but not quite Printz...so they may not get anything
I will be completely bummed if Orbiting Jupiter wins anything. Brian Selznick is golden to me. I would be happy if he won.

I also loved Goodbye, Stranger by Rebecca Stead, and know that it is Newbery -eligible, but I feel it is a bit mature for my elementary kids, and I'd really love for the Newbery to go to a book they can read (selfish, I know!).
