Publishers Weekly Releases its "Best Books of 2012" Issue
November 06, 2012
Publishers Weekly has released its "Best Books of 2012" issue. Within the children's genre, the publication shone the spotlight on twenty-five novels (both young-adult and middle-grade), eleven picture books and four non-fiction titles.
"Even without hurricanes, assembling the Best Books issue is tough. To decide on our top 10, we went back to our tavern annex this year, editor after editor making their case for what should and shouldn't make it. In 2011 we all rallied around a popular novel; this time we threw that love at Chris Ware, who designed and hand-lettered our cover (featuring the first alteration of the PW logo in the company's history) based on his brilliant book-in-a-box, Building Stories, plus nine other amazing books in our top 10, plus more than a hundred others that made 2012 an amazing year for books."
