I loved Don't Call me Ishmael because of the wonderful way the issue of bullying doesn't get resolved as much as gets recognized and "adjusted to" by the characters who are most affected by it, and the sense of the power of friendship, the great things that can happen because of a simple but not necessarily successful act of kindness (a hat issue early on in the book, the focus on the role of the debate team in the characters' lives (instead of everyone working it out in the sports arena) and the sense of honesty and freshness in terms of the writing.

It's time to begin what has become the one of the most enjoyed topics on
CCBC-Net--our annual discussion of favorites of the year.
Let us know the children's and young adult titles published in 2007 that
you have found especially notable, distinguished, entertaining,
enjoyable . . . you get the picture. What are you excited about? What
2007 books do you want to make sure other members of the CCBC-Net
community don't miss seeing or reading?
