Award News Updates Jennifer Nielsen April 11, 2013

Award News Updates

I’ve received a lot of emails in the last few weeks, mostly asking the same questions. I owe a post on that soon. But for now, let me catch up on some news:

* I’m super excited to announce that THE FALSE PRINCE is a finalist for the E.B. White Read Aloud Award. This is an award nominated and voted on by indie booksellers to “reflect the playful, well-paced language, the engaging themes, and the universal appeal to a wide range of ages.”

Winners will be announced on April 18. I will say that the other finalists include some absolutely amazing books, so I’m exceptionally honored to be among them.

 

* THE FALSE PRINCE is also the winner of the 2013 Middle Grade Fiction Award from AML (The Association for Mormon Letters). My many thanks to the judges of that contest.

* THE FALSE PRINCE has been nominated for other awards or lists as well. These include:

9780545284141_p0_v2_s260x420

The Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children’s Book Award.

– It is a finalist for the SCBWI Crystal Kite Award

– It has spent several weeks on the NYT Bestseller List or extended list, ranging in position from #4 to #14.

– It is on the 2013 Bank Street College of Education’s Best Children’s Books of the Year list.

– THE RUNAWAY KING received a starred review from Shelf Awareness. I love stars!

          It’s actually a trilogy, Paul. Book 2 is THE RUNAWAY KING and Book 3 is THE SHADOW THRONE. Both are already available. I hope you’ll get a chance to read them!

    Wow…congratulations! You deserve to win those awards and more. The False Prince was an unexpected surprise for me last year (in an awesome way!) And meeting you in Seattle was the highlight for me this year 😀 Can’t wait for book 3 😉

      Thank you for the kind words, Kim. And I’m so glad we got to meet in Seattle, though I suspect you have far more awesome highlights in the coming months. Best wishes –

    I just wanted to say how happy I am to have stumbled across the Ascendence Trilogy. It really was by accident, but an extremely happy one. I’ve been listening to the audiobooks and Charlie McWade is a fantastic narrator and you, a fantastic author. Can’t wait for the third book and I hope you win.

      Chris, the best way to see what books I’m releasing is to keep an eye out on this blog. I should have a new book each winter and end of the summer.

      Thanks very much, Brady. There won’t be a sequel to A Night Divided, but I am working on another historical that will have a similar feel called “Resistance,” due in Fall 2018. I hope you’ll check it out!
