1981-Jacob Have I Loved 2 years ago

by Katherine Paterson

I know that her most famous work is Bridge to Terebithia, but I feel this book is as good if not better. As I read this book, I was amazed to see the content of this book compared to the content of books today. There were things discussed in this book that would cause it to be banned today, let alone win the Newbery Award!

Great book!



1983 - Dicey's Song 2 years ago

by Cynthia Voigt

Very good book! It reminded me of The Glass Castle in some ways.



1979 - The Westing Game 2 years ago

by Ellen Raskin

I believe this has been my least favorite Newbery Award winner. Just never really got into it. Must have been a slow year for children’s lit.



1985 - The Hero and the Crown 2 years ago

by Robin McKinley

I have never been a big fan of fantasy, but after reading this book I may have to give it a second chance. This was a book that I didn’t want to put down and when I did I couldn’t wait to get back to it.



1984-Dear Mr. Henshaw 2 years ago

by Beverly Cleary



1987 - The Whipping Boy 2 years ago

by Sid Fleischman



1997 - The View From Saturday 2 years ago

by E.L. Konigsburg

I really liked this book. I am still debating but this may have been my favorite Newbery book so far.
