Last year, I read many books that were included on various Mock Newbery 2017 lists. This year, I haven’t read as many books. Usually, the awards are presented in January. This year, they will be presented February 12th. So I still have a 18 hours to read. One’s I’ve read and finished from Mock Newbery 2018 lists are below. I’ve tried to read around 10 books I’ve seen on many lists. However, I only have so much time between work, home and hoursmothering.
The book I most want to win is The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. It’s a sequel; so I doubt it will. The first book, The War That Saved My Life, was robbed in my opinion. It received a Newbery Honor last year. It should have received the Gold. Everyone I recommended this book to from age 9 to 92 loved it and couldn’t wait for the sequel.
