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<\/a>, The Bulletin of the Center for Children\u2019s Books<\/a>, the Horn Book<\/a>, Kirkus<\/a>, Publishers Weekly<\/a>, School Library Journal<\/a>, and VOYA<\/a> (Voice of Youth Advocates).
\nSo 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.<\/p>\n

Publishers and authors: starred reviews are counted only when they have been officially published<\/em> 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. <\/span><\/strong>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.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Happy reading!
