Greetings,
On Thursday evening, 1/3/08, we held our first-ever Mock Newbery at Brooklyn Public Library, during which we discussed some of the best books published in 2007. We had a very enthusiastic turnout, which included guests from New York Public Library and Queens Library.
The winner of the 2008 Brooklyn Public Library's Mock Newberry is ELIJAH OF BUXTON, by Christopher Paul Curtis.
Our two Mock Newbery Honor Books are FEATHERS, by Jacqueline Woodson
(2nd Place) and THE WEDNESDAY WARS, by Gary D. Schmidt. (3rd Place).
Best Regards,
Francesca Burgess
