If you enjoyed this year's Truman and Twain award nominees, then you'll love next year's books! They are already here, so if you are planning on participating in the Truman/Twain reading challenge next year, you should get a head start! You know how popular they are, so starting now means you could technically finish the challenge before the school year starts AND you won't have to wait in line forever for the books to come in! If you are a current 5th grader, you can choose between Truman awards or Twain awards next year. Trumans are written for grades 6-8, so the content tends to be a bit more mature. They often have war, grief/loss, and civil rights themes. Twains tend to be a bit more lighthearted and are focused on family, friendship, and (sometimes) fantasy. If you are a current 6th grader, you can ONLY read Truman nominees next year! You are still welcome to check out and read the Twains if you are interested in them, but only Truman nominees will count for the challenge! When you look up the books you are interested in on the library catalog, it will say if they are a Truman or a Twain.
