The purpose of the Georgia Peach Book Award for Teen Readers is to highlight and promote the best of current young adult literature for Georgia high school students. Each year, a committee of school and public librarians reads widely to choose a list of twenty nominated titles.  Then young adults choose books from among the list to read and rate.  The 2016 – 2017 winner of the Georgia Peach Award is The Book of Ivy by Amy Engel.  The two honor books are Simon and the Homo Sapiens by Becky Albertalli and When by Victoria Laurie.  Below are the 2017 – 2018 nominees:
