The Children’s Book Choice Awards has chosen Stephenie Meyer as author of the year. In a ceremony held in New York last night, she was awarded the prize for the fourth novel in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, which also won “Teen Choice Book of the Year.”
The ceremony was held as this week is the 90th annual observance of Book Week.
The awards ceremony, hosted by National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Jon Scieszka, included the presentation of the Impact Award to Whoopi Goldberg in recognition of her vast contribution to the promotion of literacy and the love of reading among young people. Last year’s Impact Award recipient, Al Roker, presented the award.
See the rest of the winners at the official website of The Children’s Book Council.
