Book Club and the Newbery Award

Zemmer Book Club and Rolland-Warner Book Club wrote letters this week to members of the Newbery Award Committee, and asked questions about the process for choosing the winner.  The seventh and eighth grade students look forward to getting a response to their questions.  Students reviewed the list of past winners and discussed theme, style, character and plot development of When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead, 2010 Newbery Award winner.  In January, students will view the live video of the presentation of awards made at the Annual Conference of the American Library Association, that will be held in San Diego, California.
