The Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy went to:
Sister Mine, by Nalo Hopkinson
I haven't read this one, but it sounds so awesome that I just ordered myself a copy. It's about twin sisters, born conjoined, now separated. One of them who has magical abilities, one of them who doesn't.
From an excerpt at Tor:
“Abby, I’d swear it really did talk. A crab apple tree in that park at Queen and Sherbourne. I think it asked me where Dad was. Said it hadn’t seen him in a long time.”
Abby whipped her head around from the window to glare at me. “Stop it. Just stop it. Why are you always saying things like this? You’re embarrassing yourself. And me.”
“But—” Why did I say things like that? Because I couldn’t help myself. Because I craved more than anything else to have a little mojo of my own.

So many good books, I FORGET them... I'd read an excerpt of SISTER, MINE, and thought it was good and creepy sounding - and completely forgot about it.
I'm so glad it won. Gives me another excuse to read a Hopkinson book. I really like her YA stuff - it's offbeat and weird and works.
