The National Book Award is given out this month, here is the longlist for 2013: http://www.nationalbook.org/nba2013.h.... If you scroll to the bottom, there's a youth section. On the left side of the page are links to previous years.

Angela Sunshine (angelasunshine) Jennifer, the book does not need to have won the National Book Award? Any award will do?

Angela Sunshine (angelasunshine) I'm hoping that's the case. If so, I read:

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause which won South Carolina Book Award for Young Adult Book Award (2000), ALA's Top Ten Best Books for Young Adults (1998)

Any award will do. I don't think I've ever read a National Book Award winner... I'll have to find some.
