- ALA Best Book for Young Adults
-
ALA Best Books for Young Adults ist ein von der American Library Association seit 1994 vergebener Literaturpreis. Jedes Jahr werden durch ein Komitee Neuerscheinungen nominiert. Jugendliche wählen daraus im Internet die zehn besten Jugendbücher des Jahres. Der Preis wird am Ende der US-amerikanischen „Teen Read Week“ im Oktober verliehen.[1] Diese „Top Ten“ sind gleichwertige Preisträger, sie werden nur alphabetisch sortiert.
