Newbery Time...

So who is going to be getting the nod tomorrow? (I know who it probably won't be... it probably won't be the author I pissed off in the post I wrote Jan. 2! Yep, that is what the "marta" thing was all about, for all you curious readers... I got swarmed by an angry mob of fans because I wrote about a book I didn't like. Well, in all fairness, the book was good, until it ended with the girl who lied and cheated her way into said academy (by claiming the death of her parents) won what was clearly the motivation for the first half of the book. It almost would have been better had her parents actually died. A major oversight, teaching young girls that lying is the way to getting what you want. But I digress...) Who do I think will win the Newbery Award? Maybe The Penderwicks, if it is not too saccharine for the judges? It is a really good read. Or maybe one of my favorite authors, Napoli, with The King of Mulberry Street? (I can't wait to read this!) We shall see tomorrow!
