How the Books on the Public Vote Ballot were selected
The books on the Public Vote Ballot were selected by a Book Selection Committee that reviews many books before making their final decisions. The five choices for the public vote were based upon the following broad criteria:
A good, discussable book. Books that make successful subjects for discussion have well-developed characters who are challenged by issues in their lives with which readers can identify;
A book that is available in quantity at reasonable cost, in various media formats (paperback, large print, audio, CD, DVD, or video);
A book that is written at a high school reading level; and
A book that varies in type from others previously selected;
An author, or recognized experts on the author, who would be willing to engage in discussion with readers at several events
