#ONECHOICE: How 10 Seconds can Change Your Life by Nick and Jack Savage, as told by their mom Becky Savage

Finalist
Young Adult: Nonfiction
2022 Best Book Awards

A gripping story of two brothers who lost their lives on the same night.

It was a night we thought we’d never forget. It was graduation–and, like most teens, we were looking forward to celebrating with our friends. We knew it was the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Some of us were heading off to college. Others were moving away. We had made some amazing friends and even better memories.

While we were sitting around reminiscing and laughing, someone pulled out a bottle of pills. Oxy. In a brief moment, we made One Choice that we can never take back. How were we to know this would be our last night? When you’re a teenager, you don’t think that One Choice can end it all. But it can. We are here to tell you that your choice matters.




Whispers: Extraordinary, Book 1 by Feather Chelle

Finalist
Young Adult: Nonfiction
2022 Best Book Awards

Have you ever overheard whispers about yourself? Imagine if you had learned to depend on your ears and could hear even better than the average person. To begin her series about extraordinary preteens overcoming a variety of challenges, the author shares what it was like coming of age as a totally blind student in West Texas.

For Amber, there almost seems to be a contest at her middle school as to who can be the meanest to her. She has to endure humiliation in the school cafeteria, in choir class, at a school dance, at the mall, and even at a family gathering. And always, there are the relentless whispers.

At long last, after meeting other blind kids and then setting a new and better academic course for herself, Amber—who has renamed herself Cheyenne—finds her way to a much happier environment, one in which she can grow and thrive.
