I have one more nominee for the Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Book Award program to read. Of the nineteen that I have read, they are all terrific! This will be one of the most difficult voting years ever. I will be book talking all 20 nominated titles to the sixth grade on Monday, November 24th. Until then I don't want to give away any of my personal favorites. So instead of a review this week, let me share with you the link to the Rebecca Caudill Book Award website where you can find an annotated list of the 2009 nominates. Then, after November 24th, I will begin sharing my personal favorites.
