THE SCOTT O'DELL AWARD FOR HISTORICAL FICTION
In 1982, author Scott O'Dell established The Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction. The annual award goes
to a meritorious book published in the previous year for children or young adults. Scott O'Dell established
this award to encourage other writers--particularly new authors--to focus on historical fiction. He hoped in
this way to increase the interest of young readers in the historical background that has helped to shape their
country and their world.
