Mock Newbery 2026 discussion

Now that our discussion on the Newbery winners is underway, I would like to ask what you thought of the other books that won awards this year. One that I am looking forward to reading Where Things Come Back. Did you have any comments about the other ALA awards?

I felt the Schneider Award winners were wonderful. I loved the Running Dream, Close to Famous and Wonderstruck. I also loved Balloons Over Broadway the Seibert winner. A student favorite all year has been Tales For Very Picky Eaters which won the Geisel.
