The Black-Eyed Susan Book Award honors outstanding books chosen annually by Maryland students. After reading at least 3 of the nominated books, a student is eligible to cast one vote for the book he or she considers to be the most outstanding. Participants will have a wonderful pizza lunch where the winner is announced. 

Votes from across the state are sent to the Black-Eyed Susan committee and tallied to determine the winner. The winning authors and/or illustrators receive a pewter plate engraved with the year and the Black-Eyed Susan Book Award logo. Authors, illustrators and publishers recognize the Black-Eyed Susan Book Award as an honor bestowed by Maryland students.

The list of nominated books for the 2009-2010 school year is:
