ALA Youth Media Awards
The ALA Youth Media Awards will be announced tomorrow. I can’t watch live, since I’ll be at a county-mandated workshop starting early in the morning. But I will be checking Twitter to see the results!
Here are my final hopefuls for the awards. In all likelihood, I’m waaaaaaay off base. But predicting is so much fun that I can’t help myself:
Newbery (in the order that I liked them)
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Okay for Now by Gary D. Schmidt
Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick
Amelia Lost by Candace Fleming
…or one of these titles that I didn’t actually read yet:
Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu
Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos
The Penderwicks at Point Mouette by Jeanne Birdsall
The Trouble with May Amelia by Jennifer L. Holm
Printz (in the order that I liked them)
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Paper Covers Rock by Jenny Hubbard
The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente
…or any of these that I haven’t read yet:
Chime by Franny Billingsley
Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Everybody Sees the Ants by AS King
Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma
