2013 Middle School Winners:
A DOG CALLED HOMELESS
by Sarah Lean
Fifth-grader Cally Louise Fisher stops talking, partly because her father and brother never speak of her mother who died a year earlier, but visions of her mother, friendships with a homeless man and a disabled boy, and a huge dog ensure that she still communicates.
2013 Teen Winner:
SOMEBODY, PLEASE TELL ME WHO I AM
by Harry Mazer and Peter Lerangis
Wounded in Iraq while his Army unit is on convoy and treated for many months for traumatic brain injury, the first person Ben remembers from his earlier life is his autistic brother.
