But it's fun to read them after they've won, too. It makes me evaluate the work from the position of trying to see why it stood out from the pack that year. In this case, it must have been the setting and voice!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628530227439660832[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106305278604193777.post-39757131801831241262011-11-11T08:55:06.986-08:002011-11-11T08:55:06.986-08:00I'm hoping this year I might actually read the Newbery winners before they are announced :) Loved this one. Definitely more about the characters and setting than story.melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457[email protected]
