Thank you to all who shared favorites of 2003 during the month of December, and our apologies for the late start of our January discussion on CCBC-Net
No doubt each and every member of the various American Library Association children's and young adult literature award committees are preparing for an intense and rigorous weekend of discussion in preparation for making their decisions, which will be announced this coming Monday, January 12.
Prior to that announcement, we invite you to consider just a few titles--those that were the finalists and ultimate winner of the 2003 National Book Award in the Young People's Literature.
The award winner was The Canning Season by Polly Horvath.
Finalists for the award were Breakout by Paul Fleischman; An American Plague: The True and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 by Jim Murphy; The River Between Us by Richard Peck; and Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson.
What are your thoughts about any or all of these titles? Are any of them among your own favorites of 2003? Are your suprised to see any of them among the National Book Award finalists?
