Evergreen Young Adult Book Award
The Evergreen Young Adult Award is established though a review group, consisting of young adults and librarians
from the state of Washington. This award began in an effort to give teens in the state a voice in deciding the
best literature aimed at their age group. The Evergreen Award Nominating Committee selects ten titles that
represent a mix of teen-appealing titles.
