Isinglass Teen Read Award

At long last, the results for the 2006 Isinglass Teen Read Award are in. It was a super close race this year--voting was even extended due to a three-way tie--but we have a winner: One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies by Sonya Sones the. The Runners-up were Blood Trail by Nancy Springer, Al Capone Does my Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko, and A Time for Dancing by Davida Hurwin.

Many thanks to the 7th and 8th graders who took the time to read the nominees and vote this year. The 2006-2007 list is available online at the Barrington Public Library Teen Zone.
