I think Mock Newbery can be tricky because of the age it covers. We do our Mock Newbery club with our oldest students, which is 4th grade. Some of the books that have Newbery buzz are really too mature for 4th grade readers. For that reason, there are books that you may be hearing about in other Mock Newberys but we're leaving out.
What do you think? What am I missing? What are you adding to your Mock Newbery list?

Love your list. I've only read 2 - Pax & Raymie Nightingale. I better get busy. There are a few titles on your list that are brand new to me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThere are some I've read, some I need to read, & of course, some on their way as you said. I loved Pax, but also Maybe A Fox, two connected stories, aren't they? Thanks, Michele.
