Mass Children's book award winners

The winners for the Mass Children Book Award have been announced.  The winner is 11 Birthdays, by Wendy Mass. Here is a summary of the book from our catalog:



After celebrating their first nine same-day birthdays together, Amanda and Leo, having fallen out on their tenth and not speaking to each other for the last year, prepare to celebrate their eleventh birthday separately but peculiar things begin to happen as the day of their birthday begins to repeat itself over and over again.

 You can view the honor books by going to the MCBA site:
