Today the American Library Association announced its Youth Media Awards. These are a number of awards for books and other media (such as
audiobooks and videos) given annually in January.
The John Newbery Medal honors the author of the year's most outstanding contribution to children's literature. There are usually a few Honor Books named as well. This year's winner of the Medal is The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate.
Honor books are Splendors and Glooms, by Laura Amy Schlitz, Bomb, by Steve Sheinkin, and Three Times Lucky, by Sheila Turnage.
Bomb also won the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults, and the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Medal.
We don't currently have any of these books in the Dick Smith Library, but I ordered all of them today.
