Anne Hoppe reads Terry Pratchett's speech for Nation (Part 1)

Jonathan Hunt, a librarian for the Modesto City Schools district in California, presents the 2009 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction to Nation by Terry Pratchett. Anne Hoppe, an executive editor at HarperCollins Childrens Books, reads Pratchett's remarks at the ceremony on October 2 at the Boston Athenaeum in Boston, Massachusetts.

First presented in 1967, the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards are among the most prestigious honors in the field of children's and young adult literature. Winners are selected in three categories: Picture Book, Fiction and Poetry, and Nonfiction. The winning titles must be published in the United States but they may be written or illustrated by citizens of any country. The awards are chosen by an independent panel of three judges who are annually appointed by the editor in chief of the Horn Book.
