It’s finally here! The second reading list for this year's
ACPL Mock Newbery! This program will be held at the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana on
January 14, 2012. While we will continue to highlight and discuss a wide
variety of children's books on our blog -- and we encourage comments on all of
them -- the books on this list and
on our first list are destined to be 'brought to the table' to be discussed in
more depth at our “in person” Mock Newbery Discussion and Election. Our third and final
list will be posted in mid-November.
So… without further ado… here are
the ten titles on our second short list:
- A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
- Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
- Bootleg: Murder, Moonshine, and the Lawless Years of Prohibition by Karen Blumenthal
- Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos
- Junonia by Kevin Henkes
- Small Acts of Amazing Courage by Gloria Whelan
- Small as an Elephant by Jennifer Richards Jacobson
- Young Fredle by Cynthia Voigt
- Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick
- Words in the Dust by Trent Reedy
We welcome continued online
discussion through this blog and invite you to join us for our "in
person" discussion to be held at our Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Are you taking suggestions for the third list? My vote is for THE AVIARY by Kathleen O'Dell.
Julie - Several other people suggested this title as well... We were just waiting for our Library's copy to come in before we added it to the list. Thanks for your comment! We'll add it to the blog and make sure The Aviary is on the 3rd and final reading list.
