I forgot to include Pax and When the Sea Turned to Silver with Raymie Nightingale, The Wild Robot and Cloud and Wallfish. Certainly two of the best books of the year. Maybe a Fox has a good chance, as well. Raymie Nightingale is my favorite for the gold. The honor books are a difficult choice this year. So many magnificent titles. Loved Riding Chance, too.
No particular order:When the Sea Turned to Silver
Ghost
Wolf Hollow
Pax
Still need to read a few...
There are still a couple I need to read but.....Some Kind of Courage
All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook
Ms. Bixby's Last Day
