The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) awarded yesterday one of the four prestigious Michael L. Printz Honor Awards for 2009 to Nation for “excellence in young adult literature.” The honor awards are runners-up to the Printz Award, which this year is Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta.

Nation shares the honor award with The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing by M. T. Anderson, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart, and Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan.

The American Library Association (ALA) also announced the Caldecott and Newbery awards yesterday. Neil Gaiman, who has collaborated with Terry Pratchett on Good Omens, had his Graveyard Book receive the Newbery “for the most distinguished contribution to children’s literature.”
