The lay people are speaking.  A few I know personally.  Mock Newbery Award winners have been announced all over the internet.  Tomorrow the official winners are announced.  In October, I posted a Mock Newbery invitation.  One family has taken the challenge very seriously.  Their winner’s are

Fifth Grade Boy

Third Grade Girl

Mom in Her Early Forties

ML’s Choice

I had great intentions of reading all the books on my Mock Newbery List.  It didn’t happen.  Some of them I read a few chapters, decided they weren’t going to replace my current favorites so I moved onto another book on the list.  I’m on chapter two of The War That Saved My Life.  Based on the results above and what I’ve seen online, I need to read it quick.  I have a feeling people will be hearing about the book and start requesting it tomorrow.

Off to read.  I’ll post my choice in the morning.
