Lynn Rutan and Cindy Dobrez
The DNA testing has not been run, but we are certain we must be twins separated at birth. And like genetic twins, we know what each other is thinking at all times, but we don’t always agree.
Our passion for teen lit is almost older than the genre itself! We are Booklist reviewers and middle school librarians who have chaired both ALA’s Best Books for Young Adults and the Michael L. Printz Award for YA Literature committees. (Lynn’s on the left, Cindy’s on the right in the photo–and it is our combined ten Printz winner books from 2007 & 2008 between our heads!)
