I saw this on Lara's blog first, but I'm going to shamelessly steal it anyway. Godless by Pete Hautman won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature. Other finalists for the award were:

Honey, Baby, Sweetheart by Deb Caletti
Harlem Stomp!: A Cultural History of the Harlem Renaissance by Laban Carrick Hill
The Legend of Buddy Bush by Shelia P. Moses
Luna by Julie Anne Peters

I was hoping for Godless or Luna to win, so I'm pretty happy. :-)
