Massachusetts Children's Book Award
Participation Guidelines
Students in grades 4, 5, and 6 are eligible to vote if they have read (audiobooks count!), or have heard read aloud, at least five of the books from the 2023-2024 MCBA Book List.
Voting will take place in April. All students who have read at least five books will be eligible to vote, whether they attend the voting party or not.
Read the print book, listen to the audiobook, check out an e-book, or read aloud with your family- how you experience the book is up to you!
Book Lists
The list is compiled from nominations of participating teachers, librarians, and interested publishers. A selection committee works with the nominations and chooses 25 titles to appear on the master list. The list below contains all the MCBA books for the year, along with links to the e-book and the audiobook versions on SORA.
