Tor.com Publishing is excited to announce that Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire has been selected as a 2017 Alex Award winner at the American Library Association Youth Media Awards!
The Alex Awards are given to ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults, ages 12 through 18. The winning titles are selected from the previous year’s publishing. The Alex Awards were first given annually beginning in 1998 and became an official ALA award in 2002. The award is sponsored by the Margaret A. Edwards Trust and administered by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association.
Every Heart a Doorway, the first installment in the Wayward Children series, tells the story of what happens to children who tumble into magical worlds after they return from their adventures and find themselves unable to cope with their old, mundane realities. In June, the Wayward Children series continues with Down Among the Sticks and Bones, which transports readers to the dark otherworld of Jack and Jill, the twisted twins (and fan favorites) featured in Every Heart a Doorway.
The Alex Award winners were announced today at the Youth Media Awards ceremony at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. See more about the awards and a full list of winners here.
I’M SUPER EXCITED THERE ARE MORE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES
*deep breath*
Okay. Calm now. I hope that we get to explore even more characters and worlds that were hinted at in <Every Heart A Doorway.>
