The article consists only of plot, and cites no sources. A cursory search for sources hasn't revealed anything beyond pages on Goodreads, Amazon, etc. As such I don't think it meets the notability criteria of WP:NBOOK. ThatSpiderByte ( talk) 18:41, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

- Keep Meets NBOOK as winner of ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults per Amazon [1]. Central and Adams ( talk) 01:02, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Central and Adams, please don't use Amazon as a source for such information. I spent a half an hour looking for a solid confirmation of that award and was unable to find it. On the other hand, keep per plethora of JSTOR mentions of the book, many of which are relatively small, but cumulatively they add up to notability--and five I added should already be enough.
ThatSpiderByte, please be advised that a "cursory search" is just not enough, and in a case like this, it seems obvious that a quick perusal of something like JSTOR or the MLA is the way to go. Thank you--and I suggest you withdraw this.
