Congratulations to the 2019 Newbery Award Winner and Honor Books! What a wonderful selection!Â
There was an outpouring of love and sadness from the children's publishing community when word spread Thursday morning that author Richard Peck had died at age 84. The two-time Newbery Medal winner
Richard Peck wrote one of my favorite Newbery winners, A Year Down Yonder. His works had a great sense of humor with characters that were hard to forget.
He says he didnât finish a book until he was 17, but now Jason Reynolds is one of the hottest authors around âand determined to show kids itâs cool to read.
That's the problem. People don't want to listen to their thoughts, so they fill the world with noise.
Hello, Universe by Erin Entrada Kelly, 2018 Newbery winner, p 195
RenĂ©e Watsonâs young adult novel Piecing Me Together tells the story of Jade, a Portland, Ore., high school student with âcoal skin and hula-hoop hips.â Jade has won a scholarship to St. Francis, a private school thatâs mostly white. She makes friends and does well, but she also feels the school sees her as some kind of project â and she doesnât like it.Â
Piecing Me Together recently received the Coretta Scott King Award from the American Library Association, and itâs also a John Newbery Medal honor book.Â
Watson tells NPR, âI hope that my books provide space for young people to explore, and say, âYeah, I feel seen.â â
Check out Watsonâs conversation with NPR here.Â
I enjoyed this Newbery Honor book!
But when you are in food service, you understand that sometimes you're making up for people in your customers' lives who haven't been too nice.
Hope was Here by Joan Bauer, 2001 Newbery Honor, pg 144
I love watching people sit down. There are ploppers, slammers, sliders, swivelers, and my personal favorite, flutterers, who poise suspended above the seat and move up and down over it before finally lighting.
Hope was Here by Joan Bauer, 2001 Newbery Honor, pg 461
On low fat entrees: 'They sell well enough, but nobody's too happy after the meal.'
Hope was Here by Joan Bauer, 2001 Newbery Honor, pg 43
...there are three hard and fast rules that every professional waitress has to follow: (1) The customer is always right. (2) The cook is always right. (3) If the customer and the cook disagree, and you can't settle it, your tip is history.
Hope was Here by Joan Bauer, 2001 Newbery Honor, pg 43
The things that your eyes see plainly and can't forget are worse than huddled black figures left to the imagination. Imagination has a poor memory; it slinks away and goes blurry. Eyes remember for much longer
Anna Dressed in Blood, p. 236
Not a Newbery winner, but a great read.
We're not children, neither of us. We don't believe in fairy tales. And if we did, who would we be? Not Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty. I slice murder victims' heads off and Anna stretches skin until it rips, she snaps bones like green branches into smaller and smaller pieces. We'd be the fricking dragon and the wicked fairy.
Anna Dressed in Blood, p. 234
When he put together his bunch of provisions, he never thought about bringing sunblock. Aragorn never wore sunblock. Taran never wore sunblock. Percy never wore sunblock. Despite all that precedent for going without, he was pretty sure his nose would be lobster red the next time he looked in the mirror.
Doll Bones by Holly Black
He wondered whether growing up was learning that most stories turned out to be lies.
Doll Bones by Holly Brown
Sometimes you get tempted to make something wonderful even better but in doing so you lose what was so wonderful to begin with.
Everything on a Waffle by Polly Horvath, 2002 Newbery Honor winner, p 37
And at heart I was a pacifist. Well, not at heart. My mother says no one is a pacifist at heart. At heart, we're all violent raging wolves, but in our actions we can be pacifists.
Everything on a Waffle by Polly Harvath, 2002 Newbery Honor, p 18
I just finished The Girl Who Drank The Moon. It was beautiful. Fans of Diana Wynne Jones will love it.
