Looking for Books for Teens?

Are you looking for good books for your mature teenager? The Michael L. Printz Award is an annual award that honors the best book written for young adults in the previous year. The winner of the 2009 Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature is Jellicoe Road by Geraldine McCaughrean, which was published by HarperTempest, an imprint of HarperCollins. In addition, four books were designated 2009 Michael L. Printz Honor Books.
