My Printz committee experience gave me the opportunity to read FABULOUS YA books over the past year!! Here are nine of my favorites: Invictus by Ryan Gaudin Adventuresome, sci-fi story taking place in a world where traveling through time is the government’s job to make sure no one can change history. A boy named Far is born outside of time and this causes certain events to unravel. Far and his friends must race to find out what is hunting them and unraveling historic events

I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the 2018 Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult literature. The announcement today heralded the best books of the year. My utmost respect is given for my fellow librarians and our work on the 2018 Printz . Likewise the plethora of talents of our winners—Laini Taylor, Jason Reynolds, Angie Thomas, Deborah Heiligman, and Nina Lacour.
