{"curriculum":{"slug":"north-dakota-flicker-tale-award","name":"North Dakota Flicker Tale Children's Book Award","type":"reading-program","description":"The Flicker Tale Children's Book Award is North Dakota's statewide student-choice reading program, sponsored by the North Dakota Library Association since 1978 (formerly the North Dakota Children's Choice Award). North Dakota students read from annual shortlists in several divisions — picture book, chapter/juvenile, intermediate/middle-reader, and older-reader — and vote for their favorites. The chapter- and intermediate-division winner rolls run from Where the Red Fern Grows, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, and Hatchet through Maniac Magee, Shiloh, Frindle, Touching Spirit Bear, Holes, Inkheart, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Schooled, The One and Only Ivan, Out of My Mind, Wonder, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library, The Night Gardener, Refugee, A Wish in the Dark, Starfish, Amari and the Night Brothers, and Elf Dog and Owl Head — nearly five decades of the books North Dakota classrooms actually vote for."},"count":20,"books":[{"slug":"amari-and-the-night-brothers","title":"Amari and the Night Brothers","author":"B.
