To kick-off our new Teen website the Logan Library is sponsoring a Teen Book review contest that gives you the chance to win one of three $15 giftcards to a local bookstore. Entering the contest is simple: just write a review for any book. You'll be entered in the drawing once for each book review you submit. For more details, visit the contest webpage.

The 2008 Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature was announced today:

Winner

• The White Darkness, by Geraldine McCaughrean.

Honor Books

• Dreamquake: Book Two of the Dreamhunter Duet by Elizabeth Knox.
• One Whole and Perfect Day by Judith Clarke.
