YA Dude book awards

YAdudebooks was founded in March 2021. Aimed at middle-grade (MG) and young-adult (YA) educators, parents and teen readers, it now offers more than 300 book reviews and close to 55 author interviews, including some of the most prominent MG/YA authors in the world.

Congratulations again to the 2023 YAdudebooks Reviewers’ Choice Award winners. Please pass this along to your friends and colleagues.

Finally, thanks to the authors who keep writing and the publishers who keep publishing MG & YA books with appeal to boys in particular. It’s our special niche!

– Pam Withers, founder
