Here’s the complete list of 2009 books for children and teens that have received starred reviews. (Note: we are cheating a tiny bit. There will be a few more stars twinkling in through the end of the month, and we will add them to this post. By December 31, the list should be final.)
\nThese starred reviews come from Booklist<\/a>, The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books<\/a>, The Horn Book<\/a>,\u00a0 Kirkus Reviews<\/a>, Publishers Weekly<\/a>, and School Library Journal<\/a>. The list below covers PW through 12\/7\/09,\u00a0 Booklist through December, Kirkus through 12\/15\/09, the Bulletin through December, SLJ through December, and The Horn Book through November-December.
\nFor book covers and more information, I’ve created the 2009 Stars Library<\/a> on LibraryThing.com. These are NOT yet up to date; I will probably complete the list just after Christmas.
\nThis month, Matt Phelan’s The Storm in the Barn<\/em> (Candlewick) joined the five-star list, and Scott Westerfeld’s Leviathan<\/em> (Simon Pulse) zipped up to the four-star list. Several books joined the 1-, 2-, and 3-star lists. Congratulations to all of you hardworking authors, illustrators, editors, art directors, and publishers who work to create books! And to the sales reps who read and recommend them\u2014you are greatly appreciated.
