The 2010 Scott O'Dell Award for children's historical fiction has been announced. The winner is author Matt Phelan's graphic novel The Storm in the Barn.

This is the story of a young boy in Kansas during the worst of the Dust Bowl era, around 1937. It's partly a family story and partly a coming of age story with a bit of fantasy thrown in.

Take a look at this one. It deserves the award medal.
