The Michael L. Printz Award is an American Library Association literary award that annually recognizes the "best book written for teens, based entirely on its literary merit". It is sponsored by Booklist magazine; administered by the ALA's young-adult division, the Young Adult Library Services Association; and named for the Topeka, Kansas, school librarian Mike Printz, a long-time active member of YALSA. Up to four worthy runners-up may be designated Honor Books and three or four have been named every year. Marcus Sedgwick won the 15th Printz Award for Midwinterblood, published by Roaring Brook Press. It was announced during the ALA midwinter meeting, January 27, 2014, when four Honor Books were also named. |
