I didn't realize it was such a recently developed award, but that certainly explains why I didn't know about it until a few years ago! I completely agree that some of the titles would not be accessible to the average teen reader, even though as an adult, I think they are amazing. Then again, most adult literary awards go to books that aren't exactly blockbuster best sellers. They are writing awards, not popularity awards, if that makes sense. And actually, as a kid I always figured that the Newbery award meant one of two things: it was either a really good book or a really boring/depressing book that adults thought I SHOULD like. <br /><br />Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296827820807569574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-86113033136566553032016-02-14T07:40:18.116-07:002016-02-14T07:40:18.116-07:00Thanks!
