Mock Newbery 2012: Starting Soon
So, I get an iPad 2 for my 11th birthday (on March 25) from my parents and grandparents. As soon as I learn how to download books I am going to start reading Mock Newberys on it. I have had a hard time getting the new books this year because none of them are at any of the libraries I go to (the one advantage of not having library service is you get to buy cards to lots of different libraries). This means I now need book suggestions. If you have heard of any new books that might be considered, please let me know. And I especially need suggestions for good books that are available on EReaders. I look forward to hearing the books you recommend!

Woah, an iPad2 - you lucky dog! I think you've probably heard all the rumblings on Gary Schmidt's Okay for Now, but that comes out in April (no idea of ebook status). I tried to read Small Persons with Wings but couldn't get into it. I'm a big slacker this year!
ReplyDeleteOn a different notes, did you know that our birthdays are 1 week apart? Mine is April 1... very fitting, isn't it?

Try out a few titles from my friends: THE YEAR WE WERE FAMOUS, by Carole Dagg (debuting in May), SPARROW ROAD, by Sheila O'Connor (debuting in May), and WITH A NAME LIKE LOVE by Tess Hilmo (debuting in September).
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestions, I'll check these out!
