Every Child a Reader has announced the winners of the 11th Annual Children’s & Teen Choice Book Awards.
They are:
-
K – 2nd Grade Book of the Year: Poor Louie, written and illustrated by Tony Fucile (Candlewick Press) -
3rd – 4th Grade Book of the Year: 50 Wacky Things Animals Do, by Tricia Martineau Wagner; illustrated by Carles Ballesteros (Quarto/Walter Foster Jr)
-
5th – 6th Grade Book of the Year: The Losers Club, by Andrew Clements (Random House Children’s Books)
-
Teen Book of the Year: The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas (HarperCollins/Blazer + Bray)
To select five finalists in each category, children in five regional school systems read and discussed books in the picture book and middle-grade categories, while books for teens were nominated at TeenReads.com.
Those finalists were then voted on through online and paper balloting, which was organized by teachers and librarians.

Its signature programs are Children’s Book Week; the Children’s & Teen Choice Book Awards; Get Caught Reading; and the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature program, in partnership with the Library of Congress.
