# Utah Beehive Book Award (Children's Fiction) reading list

**18** books referenced by Utah Beehive Book Award (Children's Fiction), a reading-program curriculum framework spanning applicable K-12 grade levels.

The Beehive Book Award is Utah's statewide student-choice reading program, sponsored since 1980 by the Children's Literature Association of Utah (CLAU). Utah students read from an annual shortlist of ten to twelve nominees in each category and vote for their favorite; the Children's Fiction winner list runs from Ramona and Her Father and Superfudge through Matilda, Frindle, The City of Ember, Princess Academy, Wonder, El Deafo, Roller Girl, Restart, and A Wolf Called Wander — a near-complete tour of the books Utah classrooms actually read.
