It’s time for another update of the starred reviews from Booklist<\/a>, The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books<\/a>, the Horn Book<\/a>, Kirkus<\/a>, Publishers Weekly<\/a>, School Library Journal<\/a>, and VOYA<\/a> (Voice of Youth Advocates).
\nStarred reviews are excellent guideposts, but they don’t tell the whole story, of course. There are amazing books out there that never receive a starred review but are popular and\/or critical favorites nonetheless. This year, to name just a couple of examples, I have been really surprised not to come across any starred reviews yet for the rather extraordinary, beautifully written Zora and Me<\/em>, by Victoria Bond and TR Simon (Candlewick), or The Red Umbrella<\/em>, a fascinating novel about the 1961 Cuban children’s exodus by Christina Diaz Gonzalez (Knopf).
\nPlease note: starred reviews are counted only when they have been officially published<\/em> by the review magazines, so if your book has an upcoming star, never fear; it will be included in a future update.<\/span>
\nEdited to add: So far, I’ve logged 749 starred reviews for 494 books.<\/span> <\/span>Publishers, please alert me to any oversights. This is a detail-laden process, and as careful as I try to be, there may be bobbles here and there.
\nReceiving a starred review is a rare and wonderful honor for a book and its creators, so we hope this list will be a handy resource for buyers of all stripes. The list was compiled from all the review sources by one little indie bookseller; please consider ordering from any of your favorite indies instead of a chain or online megastore.
\nHappy reading!
