The National Book Foundation has introduced the Longlist for 2022’s National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.
This 12 months’s Longlist consists of graphic novels, novels, and memoirs that discover issues like racism, sexism, gender and sexuality, and vanity. They happen all over the place from fictional, alternate histories to the U.S. and Pakistan.
The Longlist contenders have been chosen by 5 judges out of 296 books submitted by publishers. This 12 months’s judges are: Becky Albertalli, Joseph Bruchac, Meghan Dietsche Goel, Jewell Parker Rhodes, and Lilliam Rivera. Among the Longlist authors are two authors who’ve been nominated by the National Book Awards earlier than: Anna-Marie McLemore was Longlisted for the award for Young People’s Literature in 2016 and 2021, and Traci Chee was a finalist in 2020.
