Greetings to all, There seems to be a trend that histroical fiction receives the Newbery medal. A Year Down Yonder; Bud, Not Buddy;, Out of the Dust; and now Crispin. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy historical fiction. I just wonder why historical fiction receives the award more often than other genres. Could it be that distinguished writing is easier to identify in this genre? Just an observation.
