Young readers can now vote in the Children’s and Teen Choice Book Awards, “the only national book awards voted on only by kids and teens” according to the award’s administrators, the Children’s Book Council (CBC) and Every Child a Reader. This year’s nominees include Julián Is a Mermaid by Jessica Love, Fakers by H. P. Wood, Pizzasaurus Rex by Justin Wagner, The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang, The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton, and The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo.

To determine the finalists, thousands of children in the U.S. pre-voted for their favorite titles of 2018, with coordination by the International Literacy Association. Teen books were nominated by readers at TeenReads.com.

The awards allow librarians and teachers to cast votes as a class or group at EveryChildaReader.net, from March 1–June 2. Students can also cast their vote individually on the website, which is COPA-compliant and will not request any personal information.

The site features downloadable resources to get students involved in the voting process, including ballots, coloring pages, shelf talkers, and instructions to construct a voting booth with 13-inch test-taking screens. As an added bonus, the CBC is offering four free books to schools and libraries that send in a receipt for their cardboard screen.
