Today, the Newbery winners were announced. I have not read any of the three but I hope to soon.
The Medal winner was The Crossover by Kwame Alexander and it is a novel in poetic form (I have read several and they can be very interesting)
There were only two honor books.
El Deafo by Cece Bell
Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson
I had heard predictions that Jacqueline Woodson would finally win the medal this year but instead she comes home with her fourth honor. I have heard very interesting things about El Deafo and I am looking forward to reading it.
