A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park
It is about a boy named Tree-ear, and his good friend Crane-man. Tree-ear is working for a famous potter named Min. He starts his journey when Min wants him to take two vases to Songdo. On his way two robbers throw the vases off a cliff. He reached Songdo with only a single shard to show. I think this book won an award because it takes you on an adventure as you read.

26 Fairmont Avenue by Tomie dePaola
This story is about Tomie dePaola. It tells about his childhood. The main idea of the story is that Tomie moves to 26 Fairmont Avenue and all the adventures to building the house to having to hose down the house so it wouldn't catch fire. He also has little things that happened to him and people he was close to, like upstairs Nana and downstairs Nana. I would recommend this book to anyone that needs a good story on a rainy day. I think this book got an award because it tells about him when younger, in words you can relate to.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick
I like this book because it is interesting. Hugo was trying to finish his father's work by getting the key to go in the mechanical man. I think it got the Caldecott Award because it had so many cool and big pictures.

The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
This book is mostly about a boy named Holling Hoodhood who has to stay at school every Wednesday with his homeroom teacher Mrs. Baker, who has a husband in the military. At the beginning of the book, Holling thinks that Mrs. Baker hates his guts. But towards the end of the book, he finds out that Mrs. Baker doesn't hat his guts. She really likes Holling. Holling and the class learn a lot because Mrs. Baker teaches English and sentence diagramming to the 7th graders. I think this book got the Newbery Award because it is so inspiring to all who read it.

The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman
The Whipping Boy is a very old book. I loved the illustrations. The Whipping Boy is about a prince who does wrong things, like running through sewers. When he does these things, the Whipping Boy gets whipped. That's why his name is the Whipping Boy. My favorite part of the book was when Hold Your Nose Billy caught Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy tried to escape. I think it got the Newbery Award because it was a good book.

Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
Anne Marie, her sister Kristi and her friend Ellen are alive when a war is going on. The Nazis are on every corner in Denmark. The Nazis are putting all the Jewish people in jail. Ellen and her parents are Jewish. Will Ellen and her family make it to Sweden where they will be safe? I think this book deserves an award because the author uses detail and she is good at suspense.

Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes
This book is about a girl named Martha whose friend Olive had died in a car accident. Things begin to get more complicated when she begins to like Jimmy Manning, a boy she used to despise. What was going on?! Would life for Martha ever be the same again?! I think that this book won the Newbery Award because it is so realistic and easy to read.
