Summary
The honoured books are chosen by a jury that consists of the guests of the Children´s and Young Adult Program of the Berlin International Literature Festival, who are mostly writers and illustrators, but also scientists. While the International Literature Festival Berlin is taking place, the Extraordinary Books are exhibited at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele[2] and at the Philipp-Schaeffer library.[3] Between 2012 and 2016, 117 jurors have, in total, honoured 129 books as Extraordinary Books.
Among others, David Almond, Frank Cottrell Boyce, John Boyne, Roddy Doyle, Franz Hohler, Navid Kermani, Jon Klassen, Scott McCloud, Patrick Ness, Boualem Sansal, Riad Sattouf and Janne Teller have been jurors over the past years.
In 2012, the award was called A Narrative for Europe.[4]
