Sherman Alexie is one of our most prominet national voices, and no doubt this book will find its way into the hands of many teen readers. Still, I was dismayed and very disappointed at the exclusion of this authentic, powerful, bittersweet, and tremendously funny book from Printz and Notables.
and I add - Notables? Do you mean Children's Notables? I would think his book is for an older audience. It was a BBYA and indeed was a Top Ten BBYA (Best Books for Young Adults).
Agreeing with everything else you said, Alison
