I recently learned that My Lost and Found Life has been awarded a “Perfect Ten” rating among young adult books from the Voices of Youth Advocates (VOYA).  

This recognition is especially thrilling because only 11 books out of the 1,223 books reviewed by VOYA received that group’s “Perfect Ten” designation.  VOYA is a bimonthly journal addressing librarians, educators, and other professionals who work with young adults. Books are rated for literary quality as well as popularity with teenage readers. Only nine novels and two nonfiction books received the highest ratings in both literary quality and popularity  to earn the distinction of “Perfect Ten.”   For more information on VOYA, go to http://www.voya.com/
