1990 Texas Bluebonnet Award

There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom by Louis Sachar won the 1990 Texas Bluebonnet Award, chosen by the votes of Texas children in grades three through six. Students spent the 1989–1990 school year reading from a master list that a Texas Library Association committee had put together, 20 books in all, and then cast ballots for the one they liked best. Other titles on that year's list included A Family Apart, A More Perfect Union and The All New Jonah Twist. All of them appear below as nominees alongside the winner.
