That's quite an impressive list. Thanks for looking up the information, Alia!

I don't know who the Voices of Youth Advocates are, but they clearly know a good book when they find one. I should have added up above that Long Night Dance, while a male might read it with pleasure, is probably particularly empowering to young girls (parents of same take note), and I'm not surprised that it won an award.
