Jonathon Hunt, a Horn Book reviewer, hopes that the Printz Award can create a "canon as revered as that of the Newbery." The award "was created as a counterpoint to the Newbery" in order to highlight the best and most literary works of excellence written for a young adult audience. The Printz Award was founded in 20 young adult publications. Up to four worthy runners-up may be designated Honor Books and three or four have been named every year. It is sponsored by Booklist magazine administered by the ALA's young-adult division, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) and named for the Topeka, Kansas, school librarian Mike Printz, a long-time active member of YALSA. ![]() Printz Award is an American Library Association literary award that annually recognizes the "best book written for teens, based entirely on its literary merit". ![]() Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the American Library Association ![]() The year's "best book written for teens, based entirely on its literary merit" Annual award for writing a book for young adults, from U.S. ![]()
