The National Book Awards were handed out last night, with Mockingbird, by Kathryne Erskine taking top prize for Young People's Literature (not to be confused with Mockingjay (Hubger Games series) by Suzanne Collins). Among the other nominees was Ship Breaker, recently featured in a VCS library display on dystopia novels. The top prize in adult fiction was for Jaimy Gordon's Lord of Misrule, a novel about the world of horse racing.
