Congratulations to Brian Katcher, whose young adult novel Almost Perfect won the inaugural Stonewall Children's and Young Adult Literature Awardalmost-perfect.jpg from the American Library Association (ALA) last Monday. The award, which honors children's and young adult books "of exceptional merit" related to the LGBT experience, was announced at the ALA's annual Youth Media Awards, which also bestowed the prestigious Newbery and Caldecott medals.

Almost Perfect is the story of a boy in a small-town high school who falls for the new girl in town, only to discover she was born a biological male.
