I think Giblin's book certainly is deserving. What shocked me is Hole in My Life receiving an honor. If there was ever a book strictly for young adults, it is Gantos's memoir. How the committee could consider it notable children's nonfiction is beyond me. Hole in My Life deservingly received a Printz honor (it should have been the medal winner), but it is not by any definition a children's book.
