Calling the Virtual Mock Supercommittee!

January 19, 2014 by Jonathan Hunt   91 comments

It’s time for our virtual edition of the Mock Newbery!  We’ll declare a winner and honor books after the first ballot so it won’t really be very similar to what the real committee will be doing, but it will still be a lot of fun, and that’s what counts, right?  What follows is the list of December nominations which is slightly different from our November list (which actually had more participants) so you may want to check out both lists to gauge the amount of online support before you vote.

(16) THE THING ABOUT LUCK

(11) FAR FAR AWAY

(11) THE TRUE BLUE SCOUTS OF SUGAR MAN SWAMP

(10) WHAT THE HEART KNOWS

(9) P.S. BE ELEVEN

(7) IF YOU WANT TO SEE A WHALE

(7) DOLL BONES

(7) FLORA & ULYSSES

(7) THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING

(6) THE REAL BOY

(6) BETTER NATE THAN EVER

(5) CLEMENTINE AND THE SPRING TRIP

(4) THE WATER CASTLE

(4) COUNTING BY 7s

(4) ZEBRA FOREST

(4) THE GREAT AMERICAN DUST BOWL

(4) THE YEAR OF BILLY MILLER

(3) ONE CAME HOME

(3) LOCOMOTIVE

(3) NAVIGATING EARLY

(3) BLUFFTON

(2) JINX

(2) FROM NORVELT TO NOWHERE

(2) LINCOLN’S GRAVE ROBBERS

(2) THE ADVENTURES OF A SOUTH POLE PIG

(2) THE HIDDEN SUMMER

(2) ERUPTION!

(2) PENNY AND HER MARBLE

(2) THE ANIMAL BOOK

(2) ODD DUCK

(1) HOKEY POKEY

(1) SUGAR

(1) A TANGLE OF KNOTS

(1) DUKE

(1) THE MIGHTY LALOUCHE

(1) THE CANARY IN THE COAL MINE

(1) BREAKFAST ON MARS

(1) AFRICA IS MY HOME

(1) PRIMATES

(1) ETCHED IN CLAY

(1) PAPA’S MECHANICAL FISH

(1) COURAGE HAS NO COLOR

(1) SALT

(1) BATTLE BUNNY

(1) YAQUI DELGADO WANTS TO KICK YOUR ASS

(1) HATTIE EVER AFTER

(1) GHOST HAWK

You’ll notice the top four books above are included among my seven nominations, so I’m going to vote for three of them since they already have strong support.  I wouldn’t use this spread-the-wealth logic in the real committee, but since our group here already picked TRUE BLUE SCOUTS, I’m going to leave that one off my ballot, and vote for the other three.  Would have desperately loved to include ERUPTION! or THE ANIMAL BOOK, but my vote has to count for something.

1.  THE THING ABOUT LUCK: There seems to be slightly more support for this title, and I’m all about following (leading?) the herd at this stage of the game.  Rock on, Obaachan!

2.  WHAT THE HEART KNOWS: I wish there had been more enthusiasm for this title at our San Diego Mock Newbery, but it doesn’t dampen my hopes.  Word for word, I don’t know that there was a better book published this year.

3.  FAR FAR AWAY: Something about the ending was off for me, and I’m still not quite sure what it was, but the book as a whole was so damn good that it just belongs here.

Now, give us your top three, and please rank them in numerical order so that I can assign 4 points for 1st, 3 points for 2nd, and 2 points for 3rd.  Voting will close on Wednesday, January 22nd at midnight, so make sure you post in the comments below by then.

    Always so hard to NOT put a couple of titles on this ballot, but here we are. I’m going for:

    1) CLEMENTINE AND THE SPRING TRIP
    2) THE THING ABOUT LUCK
    3) FAR FAR AWAY

  13. Leonard Kim says

    Argh, Nina, I was counting on you for a WHALE vote.

    1. IF YOU WANT TO SEE A WHALE
    2. THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING
    3. FLORA AND ULYSSES

  14. DaNae says

    January 19, 2014 at 6:06 pm

    THE THING ABOUT LUCK
    IF YOU WANT TO SEE A WHALE
    TRUE BLUE SCOUTS OF SUGAR MAN SWAMP

    Almost booted SCOUTS for WHAT THE HEART KNOWS. After Jonathan’s scolding I reread each poem today and found it exceptional. But I just couldn’t give up on a perfectly executed book no matter how divisive.

    • DaNae says

      January 19, 2014 at 6:07 pm

      Want to tell us what we crowned the last few years.

  15. Jonathan Hunt says

    January 19, 2014 at 6:06 pm

    Love how the first place votes are all over the place in contrast to last year when BOMB and SPLENDORS dominated. Keep ’em coming!

    • DaNae says

      January 20, 2014 at 9:58 am

      What about the previous years? What was our consensus the year of DEAD END?

      • Jonathan Hunt says

        January 20, 2014 at 10:21 am

        We had OKAY FOR NOW as our winner with AMELIA LOST and A MONSTER CALLS as our honors, but we had a secret ballot with multiple rounds then.

      • DaNae says

        January 20, 2014 at 10:23 am

        I’m good with that. Can we go back and change history?

    I leave it to both of you to decide if my vote counts (since my book was nominated) but here they are: 1 TRUE BLUE SCOUTS
    2.THE THING ABOUT LUCK
    3.PS BE ELEVEN
    I also want to eat humble pie and say that I’ve become convinced that FAR FAR AWAY is within the range for the oldest Newbery readership (boy did I struggle with that:) and, since I do agree with all the accolades for it, have put it on my goodreads Newbery list just after PENNY AND HER MARBLE (which I still do think is pitch perfect in what it does). If there were more ballots with this group that indicated that one of my top three wasn’t going to have a chance I could definitely see throwing my vote over to FAR FAR AWAY based on its strong showing here and my admiration for it (which I think I haven’t expressed much as I was too busy arguing about the age issue:).

    • Jonathan Hunt says

      January 22, 2014 at 11:09 am

      Don’t be silly. Of course, your vote counts.

    January 21, 2014 at 6:27 pm

    1. THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING
    2. IF YOU WANT TO SEE A WHALE
    3. CLEMENTINE AND THE SPRING TRIP – I’m tempted to let this one get bumped by one of my other favorites, but it simply is one of the best books of the year. I’m attempting to be a bit strategic in placing it instead of THE THING ABOUT LUCK since I do feel that they’re comparably distinguished and TTAL seems to be running away with the vote. In a secret ballot, TTAL might have still made my list. I’m surprised that ERUPTION has no backers after its strong finish at both the in-person discussions.

    • Leonard Kim says

      January 21, 2014 at 7:26 pm

      Thank you for this ballot. I was getting discouraged.

      • Amanda says

        January 21, 2014 at 7:48 pm

        At the in-person discussion I didn’t give up IF YOU WANT TO SEE A WHALE until the third ballot, and CENTER OF EVERYTHING has been one of my favorites for most of the year (and won both the in-person and online ballots for my system’s Mock Newbery this year).

    • Jonathan Hunt says

      January 21, 2014 at 7:35 pm

      I could have easily put ERUPTION! on my ballot, as I did in San Diego. The difference here is that going first, I don’t have the benefit of “reading the room” both literally and figuratively.

    1. FLORA & ULYSSES
    2. COUNTING BY 7S
    3. THE YEAR OF BILLY MILLER

    If it were a secret ballot and I didn’t see all the support LUCK has, I would’ve had that on my ballot. FLORA would still be #1, though.

    • Genevieve says

      January 22, 2014 at 10:24 am

      I really prefer BETTER NATE THAN EVER to COUNTING BY 7S, but was voting strategically because COUNTING seemed to have more support. If Jonathan will accept a vote change due to voter’s remorse, I’d change my #2 vote to BETTER NATE THAN EVER. (Sorry, I did this last time!)

      • Jonathan Hunt says

        January 22, 2014 at 11:08 am

        Sure, do you still want BILLY as your third choice or does COUNTING bump that off your ballot entirely?

    It’s
    1. FLORA & ULYSSES
    2. BETTER NATE THAN EVER
    3. THE YEAR OF BILLY MILLER

    That is the corrected ballot (dropping COUNTING BY 7S from the #2 slot to altogether gone, and replacing it in the #2 slot with NATE).

    #1: True Blue Scouts of Sugarman Swamp
    #2: What the Heart Knows
    #3: Eruption

    Jonathan, thank you for this opportunity! I’m having so much fun!

    Just a note..I re-read What the heart knows this week and have come to agree with Jonathan that it needs to be standing somewhere on the medal stand Monday morning…….I cannot find one sentence that is less than distinguished……

    Looking forward to Monday!!!
