Honestly, there were about eight or ten books for this age group that I would have been thrilled to see win. Still, it was among my best-of-the-best for this age group. And it stood up well for rereading. Which isn't always the case, I've found. So I'm happy it won. And I do hope that more bloggers--more readers--discover this one!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-4397310037357088322011-01-15T21:14:56.220-06:002011-01-15T21:14:56.220-06:00Interesting post...

It had been on my radar because it was an Indie bookstore pick. In fact, I donated my copy to the library where I volunteer because they had never bought it. I had finally bought it in December because I couldn't find it at any of my close-by libraries. I liked it quite a bit but I'd have to say there were others I liked just as well. I was very happy to see that I had read four out of five of the Newbery winners, but that's because they were all historical fiction except the poetry honor. An unusual year, definitely.fourth musketeerhttp://fourthmusketeer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
