We are thrilled to celebrate these extraordinary books that have been recognized by the National Book Foundation (NBF)! As shared by The New Yorker: “The titles on the longlist for this year’s National Book Award for Young People’s Literature address gender and sexuality, racism and xenophobia, and self-esteem and self-acceptance.” Announced on September 14, the shortlist will be revealed on October 4, and the awards ceremony will take place on November 16.
Be sure to add these impactful stories to your collection in all formats. Listen to audiobook clips from Penguin Random House’s three nominees by clicking on the covers below:
