About the Award
The Michael L. Printz Award annually honors the best book written for teens, based entirely on its literary merit, each year.
The award's namesake was a school librarian in Topeka, Kansas. He had a passion for books and reading. He also appreciated the authors who wrote books for young adults and demonstrated this by initiating an author-in-residence program at his high school.
The award is from 2000- present
