The 2013 Oregon Book Award winners...

...have been announced.

The winner of the Leslie Bradshaw Award for YA Literature is:

Ruth Tenzer Feldman, for Blue Thread (I'm planning to read it on the basis of the cover art alone! Though the blurb from Karen Cushman doesn't hurt.)

The finalists were:

Brian Doyle, for Cat’s Foot

Katie Kacvinsky, for First Comes Love
