It is Newbery week!
Monday: The 2007 Newbery Winner The Higher Power of Lucy by Susan Patron
Tuesday: The 2009 Newbery Winner The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Wednesday: The 1997 Newbery Winner The View From Saturday by E. L. Konigsburg
Next, I began talking about Newbery Honor books. I’d never before noticed the difference between the winner’s medal and the honor book medal. It turns out, the winner gets the front of the medal, in gold. The honor book get a silver medal showing the back of the medal. Who knew!
Thursday’s book was Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk.
Finally, Friday’s book was The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly. I noticed some similarities between the covers of these last two books.
