Wimpy Kid prevails at top of YRCA books


By Giang Nguyen & Monserratt Castro & Anali Juarez


Everyone seems to love the book The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It is now the winning book of Young Readers' Choice Awards (YRCA) books. What are some other books that should have been voted on? What are some books that our librarian likes? We asked Mrs. Nelson some questions about the YRCA books on this year's list.


Q: What are some books that are popular?
A: The Wimpy Kid books.
Q Which book is currently winning for the YRCA?
A: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid is currently winning.
Q: Which are the top five?
A: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Invention of Hugo Cabaret, Marley: A Dog Like No Other, The True Meaning of Smekday, and Skullduggery Pleasant, which are tied for last place.
Q: What are some books that you like?
A: Two books that I like are The True Meaning of Smekday and Skullduggery Pleasant.
Q: What is your opinion when a book doesn't get votes?
A: I think the competition is hard because The Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a good, funny book.

Q: What are some books you think students should have voted for?
A: The True Meaning of Smekday.
Q: When is the last day for voting?
A: It is over. It ended on April 1st. For Waldo, the winner is The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Maybe on April 15th is we’ll know who the winner is for the whole country.


Mrs. Nelson said that they're probably not going have a YRCA program next year, but there will be a new program called Oregon Book Award Winner. So it's going to be an exciting thing. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid is also now a movie, so you can watch it in the theater! Compare it to the book and see if it's a good movie or not. We would be interested to learn your opinion.
