There's also, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. I know many people had problems with this book, but I loved it. Vaun Nelson, Rio Rancho Public Library

Whoops! As someone who usually writes too much, I thought I'd be succinct for a change! Anyway, these comments are all from memory as I don't have the books handy and read them a while ago.
I thought Whirligig was incredibly moving and Fleischman did such a fine job describing certain scenes that I still remember them.
I thought in Rules of the Road Bauer developed her characters beautifully and skillfully used humor while also addressing some weighty topics.
Jean already wrote about Going North. I would just add that the language is gorgeous and poetic. It is a splendid book to read aloud.
I thought Lester's book (which I read a while ago and no longer have so this is from me) offered American children a different way of seeing another continent as big as their own.
