What books are you excited to read?
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.
Looking forward to Okay for Now too--love Gary Schmidt's writing. Also Small Persons with Wings and Amelia Lost by Fleming.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are more great ones to come!
I'd definitely add Kirby Larson's The Friendship Doll and Jennifer Holm's Trouble With May Amelia to your list!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping you'll read and consider my new middle grade novel, WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU O.J. (Knopf).
ReplyDeleteAnd p.s. I love that you have kids and adults Mock Newbery clubs!
