Publishers Lunch
The National Book Foundation began their week of longlists
with the young people's literature candidates on Monday morning. Actual
finalists in all four categories will be named at once on October 14. But it's
already clear that there will be no candidates from the children's divisions of
Penguin Random House, which did not garner a single longlist spot -- while
HarperCollins' imprints have five titles in contention:
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli (Balzer + Bray)
Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad by M.T. Anderson (Candlewick Press)
The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin (Little, Brown Children's)
Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson (Greenwillow)
This Side of Wild: Mutts, Mares, and Laughing Dinosaurs by Gary Paulsen (Simon & Schuster Children's)
Bone Gap by Laura Ruby (Balzer + Bray)
