The must-read book of the summer and winner of the QC Libraries’ 2017 Teen Tournament of Books is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard!

Red Queen beat out 29 other titles chosen from the 2018 Iowa High School Book Award & Lincoln Award: Illinois Teen Readers’ Choice nominees in a five round bracket-style tournament. Participants voted for books they have read and/or those they wish to read.

Red Queen is a story of romance and rebellion where those who bleed red are born to serve the silver-blooded elite. Fans of the Hunger Games and The Selection series will not be able to put this book down! Readers will also want to check out the runner-up title, Shadowshaper by Daniel José Older, an urban fantasy where graffiti weeps and artists belong to a supernatural order.

Check out Red Queen, Shadowshaper, and all of the other nominees now at your local Library!
