Newberry Awards Revisited

It does me good to go back and read my previous posts.  When I did this, I realized that although I linked to this year's Newberry Award Winner, I neglected to actually name it.  I aim to correct that.  Here is a list of this year's winner and the honor books:

Winner:  When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

Honor Books:

Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice by Phillip Hoose

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin

The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg by Rodman Philbrick

As I said before, my mom (who taught 5th Grade for 25+ years) says that you can almost never go wrong by reading  Newberry Books.  They are excellent literature.
