NCCBA Titles to BEAT!

We are excitedly reading through our 12 North Carolina Children's Book Award (NCCBA) nominees!  So far, the top two titles selected as absolute favorites by the students are The Dark by Lemony Snicket and The Day the Crayons Quit! by Drew Daywalt!  I have enjoyed both books, but it's a tough call as to which one will come on top....or....will they lose their "Top Title Rating" as we continue to read through other nominees??!
