The Heavy Medal Award Committee: We need volunteers!

We have 82 books on our Mock Newbery list so far...but what are we missing? Lists and pie charts help us try to identify the genres, categories, and age levels that seem to be garnering the most...and the least attention among Heavy Medal readers so far.
Goodbye For Now from Heavy Medal
The 2024 Newbery season is completed. We'll start building our list of title for the 2025 Newbery on Heavy Medal starting in early March.
