Just like last year, there is a random book on top. With a third of the people that voted for it, it is their only activity on Goodreads ever. Just like last year, I believe the author is getting their friends to go on Goodreads and vote for their book.

This book has received STARRED reviews in School Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, and Common Sense Media and more. An array of notable authors incl fmr Children's Poet Laureate Kenn Nesbitt, Jane Yolen, NCTE Children's Poetry Award Winner Janet Wong, A.F. Harrold, Kate Wakeling, and many more have praised the book. Why don't you check out the book and its reviews and I think you will re-think your comment. Not all great books are published by the big five or four houses and that is a good thing!
