Newbery Award Winners
Below are the winners of the prestigious Newbery Award. Several books receive this award each year, so this list is several pages long. Be sure to click the "more" arrow at the bottom of the page to see more.
Listed
below are some of our favorite books of all
time! These books center around
characters
who face struggles and
find inner strength and new insight
in the process. Some of these journeys of personal discovery and
triumph are historically based--like Hattie's determination to create a
new home
for herself on
the American frontier (Hattie
Big Sky) or
Elijah's new-found courage in tracking down the thief (Elijah
of Buxton).
Other
journeys are contemporary in setting--like Catherine's
journey of acceptance of her brother's autism in Rules.
Each book below tells a
powerful story, and each is a worthy addition to the exclusive
club of Newbery Award winning books.
