Thanks! Terri - I was definitely lukewarm on Criss Cross. Not the best book book I've read for a Newbery by far. Trish - I just finished The Hiding Place a couple of days ago. It's one that you have to sit on before you write up a review. Linda - Sounds like a great read for the kids. I'll look into this one as well. Thanks!

We also just finished a new mystery book (first in a planned series) that reminded me so much of the Nancy Drew series I loved as a child. It's <a href="http://www.bittertastes.com/" rel="nofollow">Bitter Tastes</a> by V.B. Rosendahl and both of us had a great time trying to guess what would happen next. The main character is 11 year old, Kathy, who is gutsy and who isn't afraid to do what she thinks is right. How refreshing in this day & age. Hope you like it as much as we did. Cheers, Linda (& my daughter, Melody) Hi Natasha,

Night and The Hiding Place were both very powerful books for me. As you saw with Nymeth's post on Primo Levi, it is a tough read--but important. Fantastic month, Natasha!

Maybe I'm too old? I'm currently reading the Gregor books and just can't get enough! Hope to see these books win an award (or have they?). In case you are not familiar, Book 1 in the series of 5 is Gregor the Overlander. I’m still trying to determine why “Criss Cross” won an award. It really did nothing for me. Maybe I’m too old?

It's incredible. Hmm, that challenge had some great books on it - some of both mine and my mom's favorites.
