The book I chose is called, I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson. As I was searching for a
Printz Award Winning book, I decided to look for a book from the Michael L.
Printz Award which is recognize for “best book written for teens.” As I was
looking through the website, I came across the books, I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson. This book is the award
winning book of 2015. There were other books nominated as Honor books such as, And We Stay by Jenny Hubbard, The Carnival at Bray by Jessie Ann
Foley, Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew
Smith, and This One Summer by Mariko
Tamaski. Out of all of the books I chose the one by Jandy Nelson. By looking
and reading the summary, it made interest to me to read it. Further alone
searching and wanting to know more about it. I searched up some reviews from
the author’s website to see if other people really enjoyed this book.
Here are some reviews I found:
“This one is going to be big… it is full of all the good
stuff that sticks with you: love, identity struggles, loss, betrayal, and the
complications of family, so you’ll.. . feel all the feels.” - Bustle
“This is a beautifully written story” – BookPage
“An extraordinary book! I’ve never read anything like it. Lyrical-unique-passionate-magical-tragic-hopeful-Nelson’s
characters will fly off the page and into your heart.”-Nancy Garden, author of
Annie in My Mind
“This is a stunning, artfully woven story. My heart burst
open at the blazing unforgettable end. Magnificent.” – Nova Ren Suma, author of
Imaginary Girls and 17 & Gone
Who Would I Recommend This Book To?
I would recommend this book to any young adults and any
older adults about the age of 14 and up. I say these ages because I don’t think
kids in middle school would be able to understand what’s going on in the book
and the sexuality of Noah.
