I really liked the discussion. It was really interactive and was really fun. I think everyone should try it next year.
A friend of mine sent me the link to your results...
Wow! Thank you all so much for selecting Savvy as your Mock Newbery Winner! I'm honored. With so many great books to choose from it must have been a tough decision.

Thank you!
It is so wonderful that both the adult group and the kids group honored Diamond Willow. I love the picture of all of you in front of the big globe holding the books you love. You are what makes the world go round.

I am a student in Kaysville, UT. We are doing the Mock Newberry award at our school. We read, Hate That Cat,Savvy,Willoughbys, Brooklyn bridge,Seer Of Shadows,and Knucklehead. I am voting for Savvy. I think most kids will like this book. We are going to watch the Newberry award ceremony on Monday with our librarian. I hope Savvy wins. For honor books I would pick The Willoughbys.

Hi I'm a student from Kaysville, Utah and I also think that Savvy was a really great book. My school is also doing a mock newbery award and I hope that Savvy will win. We will be watching the award on Monday morning. I'm so excited! My school only had us read three books and then vote.I read Savvy, The Willoughbys, and The Seer of Shadows. Have fun reading.
I absolutly love Savvy to!! I am a student in Kaysville Ut and I'm apart of the mock newberry there. I hope that Savvy wins also. I also hope that The Underneath wins the honor award. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!
I am a student in Kaysvill UT. Our school did the mock newbery too. I think our "committee" agrees on Savvy. I really liked that book. I read: Savvy, The Underneath, Seer of Shadows, and Brookly Bridge. We only had to read three books. I voted for The Underneath because it had more themes, but Savvy was my favorite!
