I read Birdy by Moss
Confessions of a Mango
The unlikely take of Chase and Finnegan
They all seem like likely contenders.
Styx and Stones by Gary D. Schmidt and Ron Koertge
The Ordinary and Extraordinary Auden Greene by Corey Ann HayduI also read The Mighty Macy by Kwame Alexander, but I think it's solved too quickly
Edit (3/11): I saw the list on HMB. I started Hail Mariam and am almost finished. It's delightful and I think it should be considered, as well.

Yes, I read it and enjoyed it. It's a companion book to her earlier books Umbrella Summer and Lost in the Sun, though stands alone. I loved the first two, so I was happy to read it. It shares some tactfully rendered subject matter with Kimberly Brubaker Bradley's Fighting Words.
Tamsyn- would you recommend reading the other two- even if it is a stand alone?

Heavy Medal Blog :) Sorry!
If you can get your hands on an ARC of "An Octopus Named Houdini" you will not be disappointed. It doesn't release until late October 2026, so maybe past the time of eligibility, but it is an absolutely mesmerizing novel-in-verse. Don't miss it.
I love Kate Milford and Rialto is going in my list for May — glad you enjoyed it!

I just finished, "When Tomorrow Burns".
I just finished "When Tomorrow Burns" as well. It belongs on the contenders list for sure. Although, I'm still waiting for something to really blow me away this year.
