The 2010 Printz Award goes to Going Bovine by Libba Bray! :)



What is the Printz Award? Well, the Michael L. Printz Award recognizes the very best book young adult book of the year! :)



The criteria are not the book's popularity or its message, but its story, setting, style, voice, characters, design, theme, illustration, and accuracy. 



The selection committee looks for "literary excellence" -- basically "a great book"! :)



Going Bovine is most definitely a really great book, and you can check it out -- as well as all the past Printz winners -- from your very own Big House Library. :)
