California Young Reader Medal Finalists 2009-2010
The California Young Reader Medal Committee announced the finalists for next year. The Young Adult nominees are:
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
Saint Iggy by K.L. Going
Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr
I haven’t read Alexie’s book but it has received superlative reviews and is an American Library Association Best Books For Young Adults title. It is sitting on my bedside table and I will start it tonight. The other two are great books and if The Absolutely True Diary… is anything like them then this may well be the best groups of finalists ever. I can’t wait for next year. Check back here soon for the reviews to all three YA finalists.
