YOUNG ADULT
WINNER: Cemetery Boys
Performed by Avi Roque
Aiden Thomas burst onto the YA scene this year with his buzzy debut jam-packed with creative storytelling. Cemetery Boys, performed by debut narrator Avi Roque, combines the paranormal with romance, LGBTQIA+ heroes, Latinx culture, themes of acceptance and identity, and so much more. The originality and incredible execution by Thomas and Roque make this our best YA listen of 2020. Rounding out the top five are Leah Johnson’s debut You Should See Me in a Crown, an f/f prom rom-com that will make your heart soar; Yes No Maybe So by Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed, which expertly kicked off the 2020 YA trend of political fiction; Clap When You Land, Elizabeth Acevedo's latest #ownvoices tale in which she once again pulls double duty as author and narrator; and Stamped by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi, a timely reimagining of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning, which explores racism—and antiracism—in America.

Liz Lighty has always believed she’s too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small Midwestern town. But it’s okay - Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor. But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz’s plans come crashing down...until she’s reminded of her school’s scholarship for prom king and queen.
