[Calendar  Description automatically generated with medium confidence]All My Rage is the Winner for Oregon Mock Printz readers

All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir emerged victorious following an afternoon of intense discussion and voting by 25 Oregon teens and library workers at the annual Mock Printz event, organized by the Oregon Young Adult Network.

The goal was to try to guess what book from 2022 might win the American Library Association's Michael J. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature. The actual award will be announced on Monday, January 30.

Mock Printz is a just-for-fun project in which teens and library workers are asked to read eight books published in the previous year and then spend an afternoon engaged in intensive discussion. The 2023 Mock Printz event was hosted by Salem Public Library.

All My Rage is the interwoven story told by Noor and her estranged best friend Salahudin as their lives unravel during their senior year. Family obligations, family secrets, and searing disappointment force disastrous choices.

The group also named three honor books that each had extensive reader support:

  *   I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys
  *   Ain't Burned All the Bright by Jason Reynolds
  *   The Honeys by Ryan La Sala
