Hello everyone!
So this week all of the local teen librarians met to discuss which book might win this year's Printz Award, the highest honor a Young Adult book can win.
Here's our top three picks to win this year's Printz:
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King
Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey
We'll all find out who won for real on January 23! I'll keep you updated!
Happy reading!
