Readers around the great state of Illinois voted for their favorite Rebecca Caudill Young Readers' Book Award nominee. My students agree with their fellow Illinoisans: Matthew Cody's Powerless is a high-energy novel that appeals to kids. It came in first place with 2,740 votes. Congratulations, Matthew!
Check out the book trailer for Powerless.
