Going Bovine Wins Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence
On the tenth anniversary of the Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature Award, Going Bovin was named the winner of the 2010 prize. The Michael L. Printz Award is an annual award that honors young adult (YA) books published in the previous calendar year. Libba Bay’s charming book tells the story of Cameron, a sixteen-year-old slacker, who sets off on a madcap road trip along with a punk angel, a dwarf sidekick, a yard gnome and a mad scientist to save the world and perhaps his own life.
An excerpt from the book:
The best day of my life happened when I was five and almost died at Disney World.
I’m sixteen now, so you can imagine that’s left me with quite a few days of major suckage.
Like Career Day? Really? Do we need to devote an entire six hours out of the high school year to having “life counselors” tell you all the jobs you could potentially blow at? Is there a reason for dodgeball? Pep rallies? Rad soda commercials featuring Parker Day’s smug, fake-tanned face? I ask you.
