“Going Bovine” Wins Printz Award
Posted by DBRLTeen on Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Every January the American Library Association hosts a massive award event in which it honors distinguished children’s and teen books published during the previous year. Think of it as the Academy Awards for bibliophiles. One of the most recognized awards presented at this time is the Printz Award which honors a book that “exemplifies literary excellence in young adult literature.”
This year’s Printz Award went to Libba Bray for her book, Going Bovine. Bray is also the author of the Gemma Doyle Series which includes A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, and A Sweet Far Thing. In celebration of her achievement, we invite you to enjoy the humorous interview below with Ms. Bray herself.
