Each of these books won the highest number of votes out of the five nominees in its category in an online voting process by young readers across Ohio. Nominations for the 2025 Buckeye Children's and Teen Book Awards were accepted from March 15, 2024 to March


 10, 2025.  Eligible books are those published in the United States in the previous two years and not part of a series that has previously won the award. Voting was held between September 1 and November 10, 2025.<br>


<br>


The Buckeye Children's and Teen Book Award program is designed to encourage children in Ohio to read literature critically, to promote teacher and librarian involvement in children's literature programs, and to commend authors of such literature. The program


 was established in 1981 through a collaborative effort of the Ohio Educational Library Media Association, the Ohio Council of Teachers of English and Language Arts, the Ohio Library Council, the Ohio Literacy Association, the Kent State University School of


 Information, and the State Library of Ohio. It is one of the few statewide readers' choice awards in which students nominate titles as well as vote for the winners.<br>


<br>


A copy of each winning book, with the BCTBA seal, will be added to the BCTBA archives, housed at the Kent State University School of Information's Reinberger Children's Library Center in Kent, Ohio.</span></p>
