Hello all,
This afternoon I attended a scheduled book club with a group of sixth graders at a nearby elementary school. When I shared the news about The Graveyard Book winning the Newbery Medal, one young man said, "I'm reading that book!" I asked what he thought of it so far, and he said he liked how "the story was not afraid to be a little bit scary, and a little bit violent." This evoked an excited response from his fellow students, and he quickly added that in between all the exciting parts,
"there is also a quiet story." I liked his choice of words, and I loved this book!
Regards, Alison
