Call in Courage by Sperry Armstrong
This book is about a boy named Mafatu who lives on an island with a tribe. Everybody says that he is a coward because he is afraid of the sea. But then one night he heard some people talking about him, so he took a canoe and sailed off into the ocean to prove he was not afraid. Then he gets stranded on another island and stays there for awhile to show he is brave. Then he sails back to his homeland. I think this book won the Newbery Medal because it is full of adventure.

The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
This book is about a man named Matteo Alocran (called El Patron) having a clone. The clone's usefulness is if El Parton gets sick and an organ dies, Matt's (the clone's) organs will come to be helpful for El Patron. When El Patron dies on his 148th birthday, Matt is kicked out. Matt has to survive on his own by going through several places and almost through death. Matt meets new people and friends. I think it got the award because it is an interesting and captivating book.

Hatchet by Gary Paulson
Hatchet is about a teenage boy named Brain Robeson who is flying to visit his dad in Canada when a pilot suddenly has a heart attack and dies. The plane eventually runs out of gas and Brian steers the plane into a lake on the way down. From there on Brian is forced to eat wild things, drink lake water, and deal with great pain. Will Brian escape the wild? Find out by reading Hatchet.
I think Hatchet got the Newbery Award because the author uses great adjectives to describe Brian and the forest. Gary Paulson also uses great words to describe the way Brian feels.

Hide and Seek Fog by Alvin Tresselt
The book Hide and Seek Fog is a great book to read. It tells about how a lobster man sees the fog roll in. The boat race is cancelled, the mom tries to brighten every one's spirit by putting on bright colored clothes. The lobster man pasts time by painting buoys. He could also hear he mournful lost voices of the foghorns. The children played hide and seek in the fog and the men and women needed lanterns to see through the fog. The next day the fog cleared and the fishermen arranged another boat race. I think it got the Caldecott Award because of it's great illustrations.
