assuming you are serious Blake, the first reason harry potter didn't win is because the newbery must be written by a u.s. citizen or someone residing in the u.s. when it was written - i.e. graveyard book.

Very serious but Susan Cooper is British
Blake wrote: "Very serious but Susan Cooper is British"From wikipedia
"Cooper emigrated to the United States in 1963 to marry Nicholas J. Grant, Professor of Metallurgy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a widower with three teenage children.[7] She had two children with him, Jonathan Roderick Howard Grant (b. 1965) and Katharine Mary Grant (b. 1966; later Katharine Glennon). She then became a full-time writer, focusing on the Dark Is Rising series and on Dawn of Fear (1970), a novel based on her childhood wartime experiences. Eventually she would write fiction for both children and adults, a series of picture books, film screenplays, and works for the stage."
I forgot about the nationality thing but I still feel that "The Dark is Rising" is not a better book but an amazing introduction to a very deep series.
Afternoon of the Elves by Janet Taylor Lisle was an honor book, not a winner.

I know its not as well written, but darn if it doesn't make me so happy every time I read ..."IKR!! Isn't the westing game SO cool! What i love the most about it is that each time i go back and re read it, i discover things i didn't notice the last time:-D

They weren't competing with each other.,
So many of these books make me feel so nostalgic. They take me back to my elementary school days...not that I particularly liked elementary school though.

Ahoy, Cap'n, obvious author spam off the larboard bow with Vivian Amberville at #87.8 out of 15 people who read it thought it won the Newbery? LOL.
Truth be told, it probably is better than Daniel Boone anyway.

I had to remove that book from a different list - it was placed on a lot of lists. Though to be fair, I'm pretty sure Pax and All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook also need removing. So I deleted all 3.
