The Great Stone Face Book Award is given each year to an author whose book receives the most votes from students in 4th through 6th grade throughout the state of New Hampshire. Students vote in April out of a list of 20 recently-published titles that are chosen by the Great Stone Face Committee. The Children's Librarians of New Hampshire website writes "The purpose of the award is to promote reading enjoyment, to increase awareness of contemporary writing, and to allow children to honor their favorite authors."
