HATED it. I never really cared for any of Patterson's books, but this one was the worst. Even now, I can't tell why it elicited such a strong visceral response in me, but it's one I'll never be able to read again. Remarkable writing, though, to be able to pull such strong responses from people, whether negative or positive. I hated this book. HATED it.

So it appears, all Mrs. Patterson's Newberys will made it this time around. When I took K.T. Horning's Newbery class, there was some discussion that this was very much a YA book and might not have been considered had the Printz been around. It's been a long time since I've read it. Looking forward to the reread. I was sure this had made the list the first time. So it appears, all Mrs. Patterson’s Newberys will made it this time around.
