I've read other stuff by Lowry but for some reason never got around to that one.<br /><br />I love children's books!

Starting with Walk Two Moons by Creech, I've really agreed with the winning books.<br /><br />I bought A Book of Lost Things for my son for Christmas. I may get to it before he does!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-59502874708708766252007-01-25T17:39:00.000-07:002007-01-25T17:39:00.000-07:00The cover for the Power of Lucky book is so charmi...The cover for the Power of Lucky book is so charming, I'll be on the lookout for this one.Carl V.

My daughter collects the Newbery Award books, so she'll be happy to know she can go pick up a copy of "A Higher Power of Lucky"<br /><br />I didn't know about the Alex Awards - I'm intrigued! If there were awards for YA books that appeal to adults, I'm sure "The Book Thief" would head the list!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-49204128066957435092007-01-24T20:06:00.000-07:002007-01-24T20:06:00.000-07:00Well, I have five of the books you mentioned on my...Well, I have five of the books you mentioned on my list.

Have you also read the 2 companion books to Giver: Gathering Blue and The Messenger? They are really good, too.<br /><br /><b>Alyson</b>, my interest in Ocatavian is definitely piqued from what I know of it. I'm a little surprised it received an award.<br /><br /><b>Jenclair</b>, every year I try to read one Newberry. Of course, with a teenage daughter still at home, we read and discuss several YA books, too. There are some really great books for younger readers, arent' there?<br /><br /><b>Les</b>, I can't believe The Book Thief didn't win, either. In my opinion it should be getting all kinds of awards. I still don't understand why it was classified as a YA.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-55070078500139253912007-01-24T11:10:00.000-07:002007-01-24T11:10:00.000-07:00The Giver is a fabulous book!

Those Newberry Award winners are usually worth reading! <br /><br />I'm still in the middle of <i>Octavian Nothing</i>, but not making much progress.
