My Dutch copy mentions a few awards for this book not yet mentioned in the record:
Christopher Award
Jefferson Cup Award
ALA Notable Children's Book

They're all on the list (there is a Jefferson Cup and a Jefferson Cup Award, I take it they're the same).
Unfortunately no dates are given. Upon googling I found the publisher's website, which mentions a slew of other awards as well (almost as many as the book has pages :) ), unfortunately without dates either:

Anybody wants to sink their teeth into this?


Elizabeth (Alaska) Ha! Any librarian can add awards to a book - have at it!

lethe | 16359 comments Hee, for now I think I'll stick to adding the Observer prize to the books I had found, thanks :P

The hassle of trying to find correct names and dates for the prizes rather put me off the whole award thing, I'm afraid.

I think the main thing is to make the award name consistent, so that all of the books for the award can be listed together.
