Mock Newbery 2026 discussion

When we start reading books each month? I got my copy of Pax and can't wait to read it. I've requested several of the others you have all mentioned. I'm currently reading Paper Wishes.

Ooh, I liked Paper Wishes so much! The family is so dignified and loving.

I just started Raymie and it is fantastic so far. I feel a strong relationship developing between the Three Rancheros!

Loved Pax and read it n one afternoon. Not sure what age would like it but trying as a read aloud with my nine year old grand daughter. Older children may wonder about what war. Liked the communication of the foxes, especially after just reading H is for Hawk

His new book will be a historical fiction book...." I just read "Some Kind of Courage" and I think it was even better than the Honest Truth.

I finished Paper Wishes and really enjoyed it. Definitely covered a part of our history that I feel is swept under the rug a lot- Japanese Internment camps during WWII.

Behind the Canvas Another netgalley ARC ...

12-yr-old Claudia discovers an alternative world, created as a patchwork of every painting ever painted. Unfortunately there is a power hungry witch that wants to control that world and a boy, Pim, centuries old, needing to be saved. A suspense-filled adventure, punctuated with information about artists and their art at the end of each chapter.
I would like to say that I read all of those descriptions (based on a fictional art history book - very clever), but I didn't. I might go back ...
Totally appropriate for my 4th grade Mock Newbery Book Club next year!

Last year there was some confusion with the two lists. So I will close this thread. Lets continue this conversation on the 2017 Newbery thread now that the year has started.
