The full list

From the ALA website:

The Newbery Awards:

2010 Winner(s)


When You Reach Me
by Rebecca Stead and published by Wendy Lamb Books, an imprint of Random House Children's Books
Twelve-year-old Miranda encounters shifting friendships, a sudden punch, a strange homeless man and mysterious notes that hint at knowledge of the future. These and other seemingly random events converge in a brilliantly constructed plot.

2010 Honor(s)


Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice
written by Phillip Hoose, and published by Melanie Kroupa Books/Farrar Straus Giroux, an imprint of Macmillan Children's Publishing Group

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
written by Jacqueline Kelly and published by Henry Holt and Company

The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg
written by Rodman Philbrick, and published by The Blue Sky Press, and imprint of Scholastic, Inc.

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
written by Grace Lin and published by Little, Brown and Company Books for Young Readers


The Caldecott Award:

2010 Winner(s)


The Lion & the Mouse
illustrated and written by Jerry Pinkney, published by Little, Brown and Company Books for Young Readers
The screech of an owl, the squeak of a mouse and the roar of a lion transport readers to the Serengeti plains for this virtually wordless retelling of Aesop's classic fable. In glowing colors, Pinkney's textured watercolor illustrations masterfully portray the relationship between two unlikely friends.

2010 Honor(s)


All the World
illustrated by Marla Frazee, written by Liz Garton Scanlon and published by Beach Lane Books

Red Sings from Treetops: A Year in Colors
illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski, written by Joyce Sidman, and published by Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

The Printz Award:

2010 Winner(s)


Going Bovine
by Libba Bray
Sixteen year old slacker, Cameron, sets off on a madcap road trip along with a punk angel, a dwarf sidekick, a yard gnome and a mad scientist, to save the world and perhaps his own life. This wildly imaginative modern day take on Don Quixote is complex, hilarious and stunning. The hero’s journey will never be the same after “Going Bovine.”

2010 Honor(s)


Charles and Emma: The Darwins’ Leap of Faith
by Deborah Heiligman, published by Henry Holt Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group

The Monstrumologist
