And in the end…
I am sorry to report that this will be our last post here for awhile.
Thank you so much to everyone who has read and commented and made this
blog such a great success. We have had a lot of fun with it, and have
enjoyed all the great conversation.
We’ll be back in the fall, as it gets closer to next year’s Newbery,
and we look forward to being back in touch then. In the meantime,
please comment on this post with any titles you think we should be
looking at for next year’s Mock Newbery and we’ll check back every so
often.

It’s been fabulous following your ruminations and discussions during this Newbery season: thank you for all the wonderful work and we’ll look forward to next year!
Have a lovely break! I look forward to seeing you again when the season picks up again! Thanks so much for a very entertaining production.
Watch for When the Whistle Blows by Fran Cannon Slatyon [Philomel] due in March. Excellent first novel.
Thanks for a great Newbery season of discussion and musings! I’ll be reading madly so I can keep up with you folks when you start up again (have nothing to recommend so far as I’m still catching up with 2008!).
I will miss you popping up on the Reader! Thanks so much for your work and enthusiam for books for young people. Thanks for your insights and observations.
Just came back to catch up and find this! I understand. Fall will be here before we know it. Congratulations on an excellent blog.
