An AMAZING series of posts! You both deserve some kind of medal for your work!
ReplyDeleteNice list. Most years I have a clear favorite but not this year.
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying these posts. It has made me think about getting a small group together to read and predict for next year. I am enjoying Love, Aubrey.
ReplyDeleteIn an odd and kindred coincidence, the first 5 books on your list are the exact titles we picked for our student Mock Newbery at our school. Each student was required to read all of them, with the optional choices of including Calpurnia and The Magician's Elephant.
ReplyDeleteOops I meant the first 4 books on the list.
ReplyDeleteI recently read Love Aubrey - loved it.
ReplyDeleteThe Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is one of my favorites of 09
I think (and want) one of the book book in your series to win the Newbery but I won't say which, don't want to jink.
My two sleepers for Honor's are Brooklyn Nine by Gratz and Return to Sender by Alvarez
And thanks so much for this series.
I have read none of these, in part because I don't have children (not that keeps me from reading YA). Looks like I need to take my nieces and nephews to a trip to the bookstore to check some of these out!
