A blog for kids and adults in the St. Joseph County/Michiana area who are interested in understanding how books are eligible for the Newbery, and discussing which ones are truly distinguished.
I think this is a book for which I am not the ideal reader. I enjoyed it and found it very entertaining but ultimately not distinguished. Is it more teen/Printz Award? Not sure; just felt like a light-hearted book full of coincidences that didn't stay with me as I expect a Newbery contender to.

ReplyDeleteI would agree with the Printz aspect. I enjoyed it but it seemed to be one too many coincidences.
