And the winner of the 2016 MCTBA is…

Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli!

Standing alongside Simon are this year’s honor books:

Nimona, by Noelle Stevenson; Goodbye Stranger by Rebecca Stead; and Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge. Cuckoo Song was also the winner of the teen vote!
