Best Of

The In the Margins Book Awards honor the best books published over the preceding 18 months that appeal to the reading needs and wants of youth living a marginalized existence, with a specific focus on narratives and informational texts that address the disproportionality of injustices experienced by BIPOC youth. This year, the committee selected three top titles in the categories of fiction, nonfiction, and advocacy and social justice. They also released their full Top 10 list.

Essential and exceptional titles reviewed in our February 2020 issue, including picture books, middle grade, YA, nonfiction, and graphic novels for children and teens.
