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!

  1. 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!

    On a different notes, did you know that our birthdays are 1 week apart? Mine is April 1... very fitting, isn't it?
