This prestigious recognition celebrates outstanding independent publishing and honors creative excellence and innovation in storytelling.

In a competitive field of entries across the nation, Danger in the Hills stood out to the NIEA judging panel for its captivating narrative, vivid characters, and heartfelt origins.
