Our 2008 Mock Printz Awards
April 24, 2008Before we start discussing books published in 2008 for our 2009 Mock Printz Awards, we wanted to talk about our favorites from last year one more time. And here they are. (If you’re wondering why we’re reading 2008 books for a 2009 award, it’s because the ALA’s Printz Award is announced the January following the year the books considered are written. The award is named after the year it is announced, not the year the book is written. Tricky, huh.)
