Today we'll begin our topic for the first part of September: Newbery Redux. What Newbery books have stood the test of time?

There are a number of perspectives that can influence responses, from reader appeal to depiction of race, class, and gender. How do your favorite Newbery?s from across the years hold up in your estimation? How do they hold up--or not--in the estimation of young readers today?
