The 2008 winner of the Montana Book Award is Full-Court Quest by Linda Peavey and Ursula Smith. The book tells the story of the girls from Fort Shaw Indian School basketball team who became the world champions at the 1904 St Louis World’s Fair.
The Montana Book Award recognizes literary and/or artistic excellence in a book written or illustrated by someone who lives in Montana, set in Montana, or dealing with Montana themes or issues. It was founded by the Friends of the Missoula Public Library in 2002.
This year's honor books are: Freeman Walker by David Cates, Montana: Stories of the Land edited by Krys Holmes, Requiem for Locusts by Wendy Parciak, and Saving Homewaters by Gordon Sullivan.
Congratulations to the authors! They will be honored at a special reception at the Montana Library Association Conference in April. We love to see Montana's writers and stories get the recognition they deserve!
