The goal of the Rhode Island Teen Book Award is to promote quality literature for teens by highlighting well-written books that will be of interest to those between the ages of 12 and 18 years of age.
It is the hope of the committee that by allowing teens to select the winner from each year's list of nominees, teens will be encouraged to not only ready more, but also discuss the books they are reading their their friends and family at school, the local library, and at home.
