"The Defender" by Nicholas Kalashnikoff follows the story of a dedicated lawyer, Alexei, who becomes embroiled in a high-stakes case involving a powerful crime syndicate. As he navigates the complexities of the legal system and the moral dilemmas of defending a client with a shadowy past, Alexei grapples with the implications of justice and loyalty. With threats looming from all sides, he must confront his own beliefs and the dark reality of the world he inhabits. As tensions escalate, he realizes that a greater battle for truth and integrity is at hand, testing not only his skills as an attorney but also his very humanity.

Newbery Award
The Newbery Medal, named after 18th-century British bookseller John Newbery, is one of the most prestigious awards in children's literature. Established in 1922 by the American Library Association (ALA), the Newbery Medal is awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished American children's book published in the previous year. The award committee evaluates nominees based on literary quality, originality, presentation, and relevance to childrens literature. The book should demonstrate excellence in narrative and character development, as well as appeal to the intended audience. In addition to the medal winner, the committee also designates several Honor Books each year. These titles are recognized for their merit and are considered outstanding contributions to childrens literature, though they do not receive the medal.
