Award book report by Matija






















I am reading a book Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library by Chris Grabenstein. The book has 288 pages.
The book has many awards and among them is Agatha Awards. The Agatha Awards is named after Agatha Christie, a well-known mystery and crime writer. The award is given in six categories: Best Novel, Best First Mystery, Best Historical Novel, Best Short Story, Best Non-fiction, Best Children’s or Young Adult Mystery. In some years they added Poirot Award to the individuals that made outstanding contribution to the mystery genre. That award is not annual. It is a book award of the publishing company Malice Domestic. An eligible book must be published in the United States between January 1 and December 31 of the previous year and be a Malice Domestic book. The Agatha Awards honors the traditional mystery. The genre is defined as mystery that contains no explicit sex and no excessive slaughter or violence. The Committee reviews all nominated books for appropriateness and oversees the entire awards process. Presentation of award is made in April. The award is a teapot with MALICE's skull and crossbones on the side.

This book also has the following awards:

SUBMITTED 2014 ALA Notable Children's Book
