How time flies! As several people have reminded me, it's already (past) time for us to put out the first "official" Mock Newbery Reading List for the year. We plan to have three reading lists over the course of the year -- the first will be published by the end of this weekend, the second will be posted by the end of September, and the third and final reading list for the year will be posted in mid-November.
Here's how you can help!
What titles do
you think need to be on this first list? We really value your input & suggestions of titles! Just email your suggestions to mvoors@acpl.info or post your suggested titles here in the comments. We look forward to hearing from you!
Look for the first reading list for this year's ACPL Mock Newbery to be posted by Sunday, August 7th.

I just read CIRCLE OF SECRETS by Kimberley Griffiths Little published by Scholastic. It was very compelling and hard to put down. I think kids are really going to like it, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with my district.
