    It's kind of the obvious pick, but my front runner for the Printz Award is “The Fault in our Stars” by John Green. It was truly beautiful.

  2. Jennifer Fountain says

    I would agree about TFiOS. Such beautiful, poetic language, along with a great story line.
    I've seen lots of TwitterTalk about Every Day, and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

  3. Teen Librarian's Toolbox, Karen says

    TFiOS is on my contender list also. Along with Code Name Verity.

    And Ask the Passengers

    Wow…I am going to bring up three, one of which I'm not quite sure if it qualifies or not:

    One of my front runners for the 2013 Printz is TFiOS by John Green. It's just that damn good. Agreed with Lauren and Jennifer that this book needs to be on this list.

    Another front runner would be Wonder by R.J. Palacio, but I'm not sure if it qualifies or not because of the ages of the characters. I know some libraries house this book in their juvenile collection. It's in our Teen.

    The last front runner would be Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. Such a powerful and amazing book.

    Some others that I really like and that I have nominated, along with the others mentioned, are One Moment by Kristina McBride, The List by Siobhan Vivian, and Son by Lois Lowry. Although, with the publication of Son, one would think that Lowry would receive the Margaret A. Edwards award by now..

    The more I think about it, the more I want Code Name Verity to win. It is pretty amazing.

  7. Ginny says

    June 15, 2012 at 3:14 pm

    Definitely Code Name Verity.

  8. Teen Librarian's Toolbox, Karen says

    Ask the Passengers by A S King goes on my contender list.

  9. Sylvie Shaffer says

    Me & Earl & the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews is my pick for the Printz. I'm shocked it's not getting more buzz – perhaps folks are overwhelmed by the language?

  10. Teen Librarian's Toolbox, Karen says

    June 17, 2012 at 2:21 am

    I did like it, made me LOL. But I think it is being overshadowed by the other dying girl novel – The Fault in Our Stars. Although I am not going to lie, the language was at time a little off putting for me personally as a reader.

    Lowry did received the Edwards Award, back in 2007, for The Giver specifically.
