“My objective has always been to create a body of critical writing that would define young adult literature, identify its boundaries, trace its trends, point out its strengths and flaws, and celebrate its beauties,” Campbell said. “It means a lot to be recognized by my colleagues and YALSA for my years doing what made me happy. This is a lovely surprise and I’m thrilled to pieces.”
