It was a thrilling moment because for children's book authors, winning the Newbery Medal is akin to receiving a golden ticket. Book sales skyrocket, speaking requests flood in and your book gets into the hands of many, many more readers.
This year, I felt just as excited, even though I read the list of winners on my home computer. A complete list of winners can be found here.
Hearty CONGRATULATIONS to the winners!!!

Very interesting! I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they choose the Newbery. I liked WHEN YOU REACH ME, but was it the BEST book of the year? Hmmm...not so sure.
