NEW YORK (AP) — The National Book Award longlist for young people's literature features a range of grownup topics, from the deadly famine in Ukraine in the 1930s to the 1963 March on Washington to the underpinnings of the Internet.
The list of 10 was announced Wednesday by the National Book Foundation, which also released 10 nominees in literature in translation, with original languages including Korean, Arabic and French.
The lists, along with those for fiction, nonfiction and poetry to be announced later this week, will be narrowed next month to five in each category.
The winners will be revealed during a Manhattan ceremony Nov. 15.
Drew Barrymore had been scheduled to host but was dropped this week by the foundation after she resumed taping her talk show in the midst of the Hollywood writers' strike.
