Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
Maniac Magee is about a kid named Jeffrey who used to have parents, but now he does not because they were on trolley P and W and the trolley driver got drunk and flew them off a bridge into the river. Then he went to his aunt and uncle's who fight all the time. So he ran away and now he lives by himself in the wild. My favorite part was when went out and sat on the mean people's front porch and read. This book deserves to be a Newbery Award book because it is really funny and adventurous.

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
The Graveyard Book is a great book. It is about an orphaned boy, which receives the name of Nobody Owens. His family is killed by Jack Frost. At a very young age, he enters a graveyard and is adopted by two ghosts of what used to be living people. Will Nobody(Bod) every see the outside world? What happens to Bod afterwards? Read Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard to find out. I think this book won the Newbery Award because of all of the great characters in the book and because of the story of Bod's life.

Joyful Noise by Paul Fleishman
Joyful Noise is about bugs and what they do and look like. It changes moods through the book. During the Whirlig Beetles the words talk about circular motions. Then the saddest poem was the Requiem two praying mantis were praying for all these bugs. At the end it said last night we had the winters first killing frost. I think this book won the Newbery Medal for its variety of poems.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
Hatchet is an awesome book for someone who loves adventure and thrills. Hatchet is about a boy named Brian who is in a plane when it crashes because the pilot had a heart attack and crashed into the middle of a forest. In the forest, Brian has to find a way out or get saved by someone. He goes out and meets deer, bears, snakes and some natural disasters. I will not tell you the end, you will have to read it. I think it won the Newbery award because out of every book there is the most suspense and you want to know if he lives.

The Bears on Hemlock Mountain by Alice Dalgliesh
The Bears on Hemlock Mountain is about an eight year old boy named Johnathon. he starts over Hemlock Mountain to fetch the big iron for his mother from his aunt. Johnathon is convinced there are no bears on Hemlock Mountain, but soon has his mind changed. I like this book because it's a great story and it's realistic. And that's exactly why I think it deserves a Newbery Honor.

Joyful Noises by Paul Fleishman
This book is about poems. I think you should read this book because it has positive attitude. In the book, the author uses the bugs and tells how they feel. I recommend that you read this book.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
When Brian Robinson gets on a small bush plane to go see his father he doesn't know what he's in for. When he is about halfway there, flying over the "bush" (Canadian Wilderness) the pilot of the bush plane suffers a heart attack and dies. The plane plummets down into a lake, Brian survives and is left to fend for himself in the Canadian Wilderness with a small hatchet his mother had given him before he left. I think Hatchet won the Newbery Honor because it was very suspenseful and filled with action like when Brian's lungs were bursting underwater when he tried to swim into the underwater wreckage to recover the emergency survival kit.

Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis
Bud, Not Buddy is a wonderful book about a boy who goes to lots of places to find his dad. Everywhere he goes, Bud meets new people and ends up being called Clarence? You know what really gets on his nerves? Being called Buddy. If you want to find out what the real surprise is, read this book. I think that it won the Newbery Award because it is super funny.

Joyful Noise by Paul Fleischman
Joyful Noise is about bugs, and some of the bugs are house crickets, honeybees, and the digging wasp. The book Joyful Noise tells about bugs and what they do in their habitat. For an example, the honeybee says she is a queen laying eggs all day by the hundreds and making wax. I think it won the Newbery Honor award because of the great illustrations, the wonderful poems and the neat insects.

Madeline by Lubwing Bemelmans
A girl named Madeline was living in a school in Paris with Miss Claval. One night, Madeline's appendix burst and she went to the hospital. Six hours later she was eating. People came and went to visit her. Finally, she got out and went back to live with Miss Claval. I think this was an honor book because of the rhyming story.
