This year’s list is amazing!
Every year 4th through 8th grade students from all over the state of Illinois nominate their favorite books to the Rebecca Caudill Committee for consideration for the Rebecca Caudill Award. Every March, the final nomination list is made public to libraries for students and patrons to read from and vote the following February!
Just in case you think this award has nothing to do with us, here at Summit Hill Junior High, you couldn’t be more wrong. Books don’t stay in print forever. Every year, thousands of published titles for young people see out and their publishers do not do reprints. The best way to ensure that a book printing continues to be renewed is for the book to win awards like the Newbery Award, Blue Bonnet in Texas, the National Book Award or (you guessed it) the Caudill Award in Illinois. Reading at least 3 books from the list and voting, ensures that the winner will continue to be read and enjoyed right here in our own library for decades to come. So! We are coming up on the 20 in 20 2024 Rebecca Caudill Book Talk and each one of these titles will get 60 minutes of fame. Read at least 3 books from the list below and see Mrs. Scuderi in February 2024 for a ballot. It is not too early to start reading for next year. After all, you have the WHOLE summer ahead! Happy Reading Spartans and see you for voting next year! And as always, READ ON!
