Elizabeth Stargirl will rock your socks!!!


message 2: by elissa (last edited Jun 09, 2009 08:58AM) (new)

elissa Elizabeth~I completely agree that STARGIRL's a great book, but it wasn't a Printz or Printz Honor book, so it doesn't belong on this list.

All~Many, many of these books will rock your socks!!


Devan, Sarcasm Expert I totally agree about The Book Thief one of the best books I have ever read. Amazing!


message 4: by Andy (new)

Andy The Book Thief deserves to be one of the best. It is very well written and one of the most heart breaking and heart warming stories ever told.


message 5: by David (new)

David Mestelle One of the books from this year is missing from this list. Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler.


message 6: by elissa (new)

elissa I had added the other books from this year, and have no idea how I missed that one. Thanks for pointing it out!


message 7: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Added the 2013 books.

message 10: by Mr. Prince (new)

Mr. Prince Neither Fangirl nor It's Kind of a Funny Story won Printz Medals/Honors.


message 11: by elissa (new)

elissa Not sure why people are adding books that haven't been Printz medal winners or honors. It's Kind of A Funny Story has 3 votes and Fangirl has one. I'll take them both off!


message 12: by Mr. Prince (new)

Mr. Prince People can be such idiots. They just put up books they like with no regard to the criteria.

The Newbery lists are insane, too.


message 13: by Julie (new)

Julie Removing some of the books that absolutely did not win the Printz awards like Divergent etc.


message 14: by elissa (new)

elissa I just added the 2015 award-winner and the 4 honor titles. I'm excited to have read 2 of them already. :)


message 15: by elissa (last edited Feb 07, 2015 12:03PM) (new)

elissa A Monster Calls won lots of prizes the year it came out, but was not a Printz honor, so I'm removing that one. Same with Incarceron, Knife of Never Letting Go, and The Night Gardener. Please don't add any books to this list, except when the awards are announced each year! This is NOT a list for books which you WISH won Printz awards, but only for books with actually DID WIN Printz awards! :) Thank you!!

elissa 2019 Winner and 3 Honors Added Today:

SEATTLE – “The Poet X,”, written by Elizabeth Acevedo published by HarperTeen, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, has won the 2019 Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature. The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) today announced the winner during the ALA Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits held Jan. 25 - 29, in Seattle, Washington.

Acevedo transforms everyday language into transcendent imagery in this novel-in-verse about Xiomara, who struggles to come into her own power amid her restrictive upbringing. Over the course of these lyrical, expressive, and honest poems, she grows from speaking with her fists to embracing her identity as the Poet X.

“Acevedo’s fresh voice paints a vibrant character jumping off the page. We loved reading her journey from questioning her place to owning her power.” said Printz Award Committee Chair Rachel Fryd.

Three Printz Honor Books also were named:

“Damsel,” written by Elana K. Arnold, published by Balzer+Bray, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.

Ama has no memory of what comes before she wakes in Prince Emory’s arms, but she’s no ordinary damsel in distress. Using the language of classic fairy tales to shatter familiar tropes, Arnold asks readers to confront the ways systemic violence against women pervades cultural touchstones.

“A Heart in a Body in the World,” written by Deb Caletti, published by Simon Pulse, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing.

Struggling with PTSD in the wake of a terrifying tragedy, Annabelle decides to run across the country in a physically demanding journey that mirrors the circuitous path of her emotional recovery. Caletti insightfully explores trauma, loss, and guilt while illuminating the damaging expectations our culture places on teenage girls.

“I, Claudia,” written by Mary McCoy, published by Carolrhoda Lab®, an imprint of Carolrhoda Books®, a division of Lerner Publishing Group.

In this political thriller set in a privileged high school, underestimated and unreliable narrator Claudia chronicles her rise to power. Sharp, biting humor pervades McCoy’s novel about vicious high school students embroiled in an explosive struggle for control.
