We are officially in film awards season! The Oscars are happening on March 2nd. Of course, there are always lots of great movies and creators nominated for awards. Since I don't watch a lot of movies, I’m back again adapting the awards for YA books. There are always a lot of great books to choose from! The American Library Association also recently announced their youth media awards, so check out some of those award winning teen books here.
