South Carolina Book Award Program
http://www.scasl.net/young-adult-book-award
The SC Book Award is a state program open to all students. These titles of a variety of genres and levels are chosen by a committee made up of librarians, teachers, parents, and kids. Students are encouraged to read at least three titles and vote for their favorite by the end of February each year. Each year's winner is chosen by high school students from all around the state of SC.
Titles on the SCYoung Adult Book Award Nominee lists are a good choice for both avid readers, and reluctant readers searching for interesting teen lit.
