With the help of my friend Kathy, I've started to compile a handy dandy list of contenders for the 2011 Newbery Award. Have I read any of them yet? Well, I've seen the covers of many and am dreaming about reading them...does that count? Guess my answer is no. Future looms large with great reads--looking forward to these titles. Some have been published, many are upcoming:
The Night Fairy by Schlitz
They Called Themselves the KKK by Bartoletti
A Million Shades of Gray by Kadohata
One Crazy Summer by Williams-Garcia
Mockingjay by Collins
A Conspiracy of Kings by Turner
As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth by Perkins
Any favorites I've missed? Feel free to share suggestions with me! Much appreciated. I'll be keeping a running list soon, along with space for folks to post their comments and questions concerning specific titles.
