Best Bets

A number of Orca Book Publishers’ titles were selected for the Ontario Library Association’s Canadian Materials Committee Best Bets list for children and for teens. Each year the committee selects the top ten Canadian novels, picturebooks and non-fiction titles for children and top ten novels for young adults.

Three titles made the Top Ten Children’s Fiction list: Just J by Colin Frizzell, Shadows on the Train (a Dinah Galloway mystery) by Melanie Jackson and Nightwalker by K.V. Johansen. When the Curtain Rises by Rachel Dunstan Muller was an Honourable Mention.

The Warrior’s Daughter by Holly Bennett was selected for the Top Ten Novels for Young Adults list. Rebel’s Tag by K.L Denman and Out of Order by Robin Stevenson both received Honourable Mentions.

Jeffrey and Sloth by Kari-Lynn Winters and Ben Hodson was selected for the Children’s Picture Books Top Ten.
