We shared quite a few comments about the winning book True Believer during July 2001 when we devoted our discussion to this fine book by Virginia Euwer Wolff. We also had a few comments about its predecessor Make Lemonade at that time. A couple of you remarked about it during the December "favorites" discussion, too. Anyone interested in looking at the comments from July 2001 is welcome to visit the CCBC-Net archives: http://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/ccbc-net/jul2001.text
Perhaps some of you hadn't read True Believer at that time but have had a chance to do so since July. We'd love to hear from you, if so. We also welcome comments from anyone who has other thoughts about this book, its style, its muliple themes, etc.
We also welcome comments about the four NBA nominees: 1) "Carver: A Life in Poems" by Marilyn Nelson (Front Street); 2) "A Step from Heaven" by An Na, (Front Street); 3) "The Tiger Rising" by Kate DiCamillo (Candlewick); and 4) "We Were There Too! Young People in U.S. History" by Phillip Hoose (A Melanie Kroupa Book / Farrar Straus Giroux).
Of all these books, I think that we've had few comments about The Tiger Rising. Who has read this book for children, and what is your response? What are children's responses to it, as well?
