Since I work at a Middle School, and just because I feel like it, I've decided to read the Newberry winners. After perusing the list (that spans back to 1922) I discovered that I'd only read a few of the books. Hmmm... I took two of them home over the weekend, the one I'm reading now is the 2007 winner, THE HIGHER POWER OF LUCKY by Susan Patron. Next I'll read 2005, KIRA-KIRA by Cynthia Kadohata.
So far I've read...
2003 CRISPIN: THE CROSS OF LEAD by Avi
1999 HOLES by Louis Sachar
1994 THE GIVER by Lois Lowry
1979 THE WESTING GAME by Ellen Raskin
1970 SOUNDER by William H. Armstrong
1955 THE WHEEL ON THE SCHOOL by Meindert DeJong

Sounder! I remember reading that in 7th grade English class with Mrs. Felling. Vague memories that it was a bit of a downer. Good on you for tackling the Newberry winners, though! Let us know of anything that is Must-Read material for us non-Middle School employed folk.
lol I hated Sounder. ;o)
