I'm almost afraid to read Dicey's Song, because it looks so serious. . . . Newberys I've hated, though? Er. I hate to talk smack about other authors, or their books.

LOVE THEM! I have found that there is a small window for them to be life-changing comfort books. My friends that have read them when they were older haven't loved them as much. Too bad for them! <br /><br />Thanks for the list!Taletha, etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12247598330864724491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4232639346497420305.post-58065550582667915512010-01-22T14:16:34.841-07:002010-01-22T14:16:34.841-07:00I truly recommend Olive's Ocean.

The Newbery list is overwhelming, because I didn't know where to start. <br /><br />I agree with Catherine that Olive's Oceans was worthy of being on the list :) <br />I also love Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, Rules by Cynthia Lord, Al Capone does my Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko, Hoot by Carl Hiaasen, Hope was Here by Joan Bauer, and both of Jim Murphy's non-fiction books on the list: American Plague and The Great Fire.Kelleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402368920655764307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4232639346497420305.post-8829823936002108632010-01-21T18:19:16.375-07:002010-01-21T18:19:16.375-07:00You listed many of my favorites.
