NEW YORK (AP) — In a field that featured superstars such as Veronica Roth, Rick Riordan and Jeff Kinney, the winner of the Children’s Choice Book Award for author of the year was a brand name of a different kind: Rush Limbaugh.
The conservative commentator won Wednesday night for his best-selling “Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims.” Nominees are determined by how many copies their books sell, but winners are picked by kids, who vote online. The awards were presented by the Children’s Book Council, a nonprofit trade association.
Roth’s “Allegiant,” the finale of her blockbuster “Divergent” series, won the award for best book for teens.
His childish listeners will be happy.
Was this award in the Pedophilia category?
I shouldn’t be judgmental but Rush and Children’s books in the same sentence is just creepy.
Rush has been telling stories to Children all his life.
And of course the Tea Klux Klan parents of the kids who voted (if indeed it was kids who voted – how would anyone know?) had NO influence whatsoever on the tykes’ preferences.
