Certainly see why it's Printz worthy. The small town corn setting rang very true (minus the magical realism), and I was delighted when it was revealed to be IL, because I felt like I knew that town! I liked that Roza got to define her ending and it wasn't wrapped up in a marriage plot, though her freedom from men narrative could easily have ended that way with lesser writers. Not sure I loved Finn's diagnosis twist, but it made sense to story.
