When the Printz Award began I was happy as then our Newbery titles would be more elementary in my thinking.

I'm reading El Niño now and would love to hear what other people think about it. But I also would love to read death in the jungle. Regardless of whether I add it to our Elementary library or not.
Fleming has another book out for 2025- Is it Real? About the Loch Ness Monster - that may be more for the younger range. I just got both her books from my library today.
I find it frustrating. There is no way I could put Death in the Jungle in elementary. I love Candace Fleming and hope she gets a nod, but I want a younger audience book, so my students can relish in the Newbery in January.
