On November 6, the National Book Awards were announced for fiction, nonfiction, poetry and - for the first time in several years
- the category of "juvenile literature."
The winner for juvenile literature is Parrot in the Oven = Mi Vida by Victor Martinez (A Joanna Cotler Book / HarperCollins, 1996). Perhaps you also heard the brief interview with Mr. Martinez today on NPR's Morning Edition program. We'll be discussing this powerful young adult novel on Friday afternoon at the CCBC in our monthly book discussion.
Other finalists in the juvenile literature category as announced in the New York Times on October 3: 1) What Jamie Saw by Carolyn Coman (Front Street, 1995); 2) A Girl Named Disaster by Nancy Farmer (A Richard Jackson Book / Orchard, 1996); 3) The Long Season of Rain by Helen Kim (An Edge Book / Henry Holt, 1996) we'll be discussing this fine novel on Friday afternoon, too; and 4) Send Me Down a Miracle by Han Nolan (Harcourt Brace, 1996).
