Here’s to a new year of starred reviews, readers! The Stars So Far is a project that gathers all the year’s starred reviews for children’s and YA books from Booklist, The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, Horn Book, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and School Library Journal (in the next update, I’ll add 5Q5P titles from VOYA — Voice of Youth Advocates).
This is a detail-laden process, and as careful as I try to be, there will be bobbles here and there. If you want the cleanest, most consistently formatted version of this list, check back here several days after the original post, when I’ll have been able to make any fixes. Publishers, please alert me to any oversights at ebluemle AT publishersweekly.com, including the review sources and dates for the starred reviews. Thanks! Please do NOT send VOYA stars. As I mentioned above, the VOYA stars will be included in the next update. Please note: starred reviews are counted only when they have been officially published by the review magazines, so if your book has an upcoming star, never fear; it will be included in a future update.
Receiving a starred review is a rare and wonderful honor for a book and its creators. We hope this list will be a handy resource for readers and buyers of all stripes.
