2010 Printz Award Winner!

The Michael L. Printz Award is an award for a book that exemplifies literary excellence in young adult literature. This year's winner is Going Bovine by Libba Bray. It's the story of Cameron, a 16 year old slacker who contracts Mad Cow Disease and sets off on a road trip with a dwarf, a garden gnome and a punk angel. I can guarantee it's definitely unlike anything you've read before!

The committee also named four Printz Honor Books:

• Charles and Emma: The Darwins’ Leap of Faith

by Deborah Heiligman

The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey

Punkzilla, by Adam Rapp

Tales of the Madman Underground: An Historical Romance, 1973 by John Barnes

If you haven't read the book you can pick up a copy in the YA area at the library. If you don't have a chance to read it but are interested in participating in the book club feel free to come anyway! We'll discuss other books you've enjoyed or hated recently and we'll pick out a few books to read for upcoming meetings. Hope to see you there!
