2022-23 Kentucky Bluegrass Award Master Lists 3-8 grades

These books are from the 22-23 3rd-8th grade lists. Full Master Lists here: https://www.kasl.us/kba-master-lists.html

Each year, a KBA committee for each grade band chooses ten books that will be featured on each Master List (Preschool, K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12) through a year-long process that requires many volunteer hours. These committees include school librarians, public librarians, academic librarians and classroom teachers from across the state and represent both public and private schools. Master List committees are chaired by KASL members who report to the KBA Coordinator and the KASL Board.
