Could someone please tell me why this won the Newbery this year?
I couldn’t even finish it. It was pretentious, boring, and wordy. (And totally without a plot!) Maybe some fourteen-year-old has had a life changing experience reading it. I wouldn’t have, if I were fourteen.
Maybe it’s good that I’m not on the Newbery committee.

I thought it started slow, but my daghter said she liked it, so I kept going. I thought it was good. Maybe not the best Newberry ever, but good. I also liked the princess academy, which was one of the Honor books.
