Consensus, Fantasy, and the Dark Horse | Pondering Printz
Before we tune in to the Youth Media Awards on January 28, we’d like to focus on a handful of outliers that perhaps lack the broad consensus-building qualities of previously highlighted titles but are just as impressive.
Sarah Couri and Karyn Silverman Kick Off Pondering Printz
The former “Someday My Printz Will Come” bloggers Sarah Couri and Karyn Silverman present a look at the history of the Printz award and offer their first round of possible contenders.
Picks and Predictions
Now that you’ve had a few hours to digest the news that this is our last time doing picks and predictions, and you’ve also had some time to consider your own thoughts for each category, let’s do this thing! We’ll start with the definitions: Picks are the personal choices. It’s the slate of books you can […]
News
We interrupt our usual year-end post schedule with some breaking news: This will be the last season for the Someday My Printz Will Come blog. While we are incredibly sad about this, it’s not a permanent goodbye. The SLJ folks have assured us of their continuing commitment to YA award coverage, and we like talking […]
What a Treat: Guest Reviews

So read on for an alphabetical listing of graphic novels that might maybe could (but probably won’t) […]
Divergent Dystopic Visions
Not Divergent divergent, but diverse, unexpected, small press books diverging from the post-apocalyptic formula of yesteryear: that’s what we’ve got for you today. The Marrow Thieves won both the Kirkus Prize and the Canadian Governor General’s Literary Award, and has shown up on the year-end lists for Kirkus and School Library Journal — not bad […]
Pyrite Time Is Here Again!
Yes, you read that right: It’s Pyrite time! In case this is your first rodeo: The Pyrite is Someday’s Mock Printz. Instead of gold, we award fool’s gold — because mock/fool, right? (Puns may be the lowest form of humor to some, but I never met one I didn’t like.) We have no affiliation with […]
The Book of Dust
This isn’t necessarily a big book in Printz speculation terms, but it’s a big book in the kidlit field; lots of excited librarians, lots of buzzing adults, lots of stars, lots of sales. Which means it’s the kind of book the RealCommittee is likely to look at, and it’s also the kind of book that […]
