3rd-5th grade. This is a special celebratory meeting for Bluestem Readers who participated in our sessions throughout the 2026 Bluestem Readers' Choice Award period (September - March). We will celebrate the nominees and find out which book came out on top in the state of Illinois - as voted on by kids like you!

Please note: returning readers from last season who are entering 6th grade and would like to continue participation, are welcome.
