The Stars So Far (as of 9/10/12)


Elizabeth Bluemle - September 13, 2012

Start your medal handicapping engines, folks! Here’s the updated list of the year’s starred reviews for children’s and YA books from Booklist, The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, the Horn Book, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, and VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates).
So far, 744 books have received 1,218 starred reviews. Receiving a starred review is a special, joyful honor for a book and its creators. While everyone will understandably focus much interest on the books receiving multiple stars, and may lose steam before getting toward the bottom of the list, I encourage you to take a long look at the single-star books; those often are given to rare discoveries, not in the mainstream swim, and are well worth exploring.

Publishers and authors: starred reviews are counted only when they have been officially published by the review magazines. This update covers reviews published through September 10, 2012. If your book has an upcoming star, never fear: it will be included in a future update. Publishers may alert me to any oversights at ebluemle AT publishersweekly.com; please include all starred review sources and dates for any books you’re referencing.

We hope this list will be a handy resource for booksellers, librarians, teachers, readers, and folks in the children’s book industry. The list was compiled and formatted by one indie bookseller. It’s a labor of love and takes hours of research and data input (and time-consuming tinkering to standardize the entries). If you are using this as a purchasing tool, please consider ordering from an independent bookstore instead of an online store or chain. If you don’t have a local independent, there are scores of indies you can order from online via Indiebound.org.

Happy reading!

  1. Valerie Hobbs

    For the first time in my 16 year career, none of the big reviewers reviewed Minnie McClary Speaks Her Mind, my latest middle-grade novel. I’m a little flabbergasted and a lot sad.

    Elizabeth – thank you, thank you, thank you. Stars are not the be all and end all, but since we can’t read everything, they’re sure nice to have. It’s also nice when the pros agree – Doreen Rappaport’s Beyond Courage (which I have been raving about for months; it came out Tuesday (Candlewick) received 5 stars. Hurray!

    Thanks, Elizabeth. for the great posting. There are a few titles by favorite authors that I haven’t seen! Will look them up. Valerie, I LOVE your books and will see if there is a galley in my pile of titles not published yet. It’s hard to read ahead of real month (or two) time. (I’m only a bookseller, but enjoy handselling your books.) sue from Toadstool Bookshop, Milford, NH

    There is no logical explanation, Valerie. I’ve earns starred reviews from Kirkus and the Bulletin, made the BBYA list, etc. and have yet to be reviewed in Horn Book. ??????
