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.
