Meet the TRCA 2020 Contenders:

CCRCE’s TRCA Committee has shortlisted five books for the 2020 Teen Reader’s Choice Award. The award winner will be announced June 9th.

The 2020 finalists are:

• The Field Guide to the North American Teenager by Ben Philippe
• Monday’s Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson
• Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell; illustrated by Faith Erin Hicks
• Sweep: The Story of a Girl and Her Monster by Jonathan Auxier
• The Unwanted: Stories of the Syrian Refugees by Don Brown

The 2020 TRCA Committee selected the finalists from a list of over seventy titles. After months spent reading and discussing these suggestions, a selection was made. The selected titles include a fictional field guide to American high school life as told by a black French Canadian; a mystery involving murder, neglect, and systemic racism; a smart full colour graphic novel set in a pumpkin patch; a fantastical historical novel filled with love and imagination; and a graphic novel that humanizes the Syrian refugee crisis.

Next Wednesday in the NNEC Library there will be a Christmas craft session during lunch hour.  We will be making Christmas cards incorporating recycled books.  Our session will be limited to 10 students so please stop by the library and sign up so you don't miss out! 

The results are in and the winner is.....
