Young Adult Winners

You may not know it, but the American Library Association (ALA) hosts an awards ceremony every January to honor books that were particularly amazing.  Two of the most prestigious awards are the Morris Award, which goes to an exceptional young adult book written by a debut author, and the Printz Award, given to the best book for teens.  The awards were announced on Monday, and for the first time, the Morris Award and the Printz Award went to the same book, Where Things Come Back.  Reserve a copy today to get your hands on this stellar novel!
