Winner of Printz 2009: Jellicoe Road
Honor books:
Octavian Nothing: Traitor to the Nation
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks
Nation
Tender Morsels

I removed Book Thief and My Sister's Keeper from this list because they were older than 2008. Books must be published in 2008 to be eligible for the 2009 Printz.

Arn't these supposed to be 2009 Printz contenders? because some of theses are either to old or to new to be from 09. i mean, TFIOS didn't come out till a couple years later.
