Year of Billy Miller

True Blue Scouts of Sugarman Swamp
Thing About Luck


Year of Billy Miller
(and I did love Jinx, but I don't think it has much of a chance)
(Far Far Away is my favorite for the Printz, but there has been a lot of discussion about its suitability for the Newbery; hope it is recognized by at least one award committee!)
(I've read all the books mentioned above except Navigating Early, White Fur Flying, Golden Boy; many "good reads", not that much distinguished writing)

Counting by 7s
The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp
The Boy Who Loved Math

Doll Bones
The Year of Billy Miller
Courage Has No Color
My favorites were Rump, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and Better Nate Than Ever. I don't really see these as Newbery winners, though.

True Blue Scouts of Sugarman Swamp
The Thing About Luck
I've read some of the others, but not all. I am not sure if any of the others have a chance at the Newbery.

Flora and Ulysses
True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp
If could pick a 4th and 5th, I would also list Paperboy & The Thing About Luck.

Would love to see the list and have had a mock vote. There is a Caldecott group that does this.

This is to create the list. Top ten mentions will make it to the poll.
