2007 Mock Printz Nominations
January 4, 2008

Every year, librarians throughout the Valley get together and try to figure out which book will win the Printz Award. We make a list of our favorite titles and then debate about which one is best. (Librarians are fairly easy to entertain…) We thought that some of you might like to read along with us.

  • The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
  • Blackbringer by Laini Taylor (from the Faeries of Dreamdark series)
  • Boy Toy by Barry Lyga
  • Breaking Up by Aimee Friedman, illustrated by Christine Norrie
  • Enter Three Witches by Caroline B. Cooney
  • The Plain Janes by Cecil Castelluci and Jim Rigg
  • Skin Hunger: A Resurrection of Magic, Book One by Kathleen Duey
  • Story of A Girl by Sara Zarr
  • Tamar by Mal Peet
  • Touching Snow by M. Sindy Felin
  • TWOC: Taken Without Owner's Consent by Graham Joyce
