And I also didn't read Little Women which some people I work with are simply astounded by. :)Monihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192149979574601210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022775613667933377.post-62505327515108927362007-01-29T10:19:00.000-05:002007-01-29T10:19:00.000-05:00You know, I read constantly as a child, but I'm a ...You know, I read constantly as a child, but I'm a little surprised at how few Newbery winners I actually read. Maybe I was too busy with Nancy Drew?<br /><br />Here's what I've read - for the most part, over 30 years ago:<br /><br />1. The Hero and the Crown (I think I read this in college when I discovered Robin McKinley...I loved <i>Sunshine</i>, which was an adult fantasy published just a few years ago).<br />2. Bridge to Terebithia (I read this last year, at age 42, when picking titles off a 'banned book' list). I just saw a movie preview for this last week!<br />3. Julie of the Wolves<br />4. From the Mixed Up Files<br />5. A Wrinkle in Time<br />6. Island of the Blue Dolphins (I remember being disturbed by this as a child, but not why...should be interesting to look at it again).<br />7. The Witch of Blackbird Pond<br />8.

I think I remember finishing it going, "huh?" But as I think about it I really like the imagery that it left in my mind. I will have to take a look at it again and see if I can come up with a better explanation :)Monihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192149979574601210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022775613667933377.post-39040353752725823132007-01-22T17:27:00.001-05:002007-01-22T17:27:00.001-05:00Oops, Maniac Magee (forgot the second "A")Oops, Maniac Magee (forgot the second "A")Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217383813263874657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022775613667933377.post-31291381824080792912007-01-22T17:27:00.000-05:002007-01-22T17:27:00.000-05:00You know, I loved Crispin and Manic Magee, but I j...You know, I loved Crispin and Manic Magee, but I just didn't get Criss-Cross.
