Printz workshop this coming January. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure, the Mock Printz is a delightful afternoon of shared strong feelings, passionate defenses, and cheerful arguing among book-loving teens and library staff. We had a notable triumph this
year when <em><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif"><a href="http://ola.memberclicks.net/message2/link/54b2345c-05de-49ce-ad08-fba6381cfc55/1" target="_blank"><span style="color:#236FA1">All My Rage</span></a></span></em>, the book we agreed was the
best of the year, won the actual Printz Award! This workshop is just the best, and we will definitely be doing it again, probably every other year. So, please mark your calendars for January 2025. In the meantime, we’ve compiled a list of Printz contenders
for your reading (and, in some cases, weeping) pleasure! These 10 YA books would have most likely made our Mock Printz list, plus a couple of bonus books.*:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
