On Saturday, we conferred, and selected

 

Criss Cross, by Lynne Rae Perkins, for our "Mock" Newbery Medal!

 

We also selected four honor books, here in title order:

 

Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow by Susan Campbell Bartoletti

John Lennon: All I Want is the Truth by Elizabeth Partridge

Show Way, by Jacqueline Woodson

A Wreath for Emmett Till by Marilyn Nelson

 

The full discussion list is posted below.

 

Our small group was represented by librarians, teachers, authors, booksellers, publishers, students, and others-and we had a blast. Hope you can make it next year. The announcement will go out to listservs, but feel free to email me at nlindsay at oaklandlibrary.org
<mailto:nlindsay at oaklandlibrary.org> if you'd like to be added to my
"invite" mail group!
