This is a place where Nebbie students can post reviews about Newbery Award and Newbery Honor books they've read.
How to Write a Review
Pick up a Newbery Review form from Ms. Goodnight-Click in the library or print one off from the library's wiki page (click on the yellow jacket below.) Make sure the book you are reviewing is a Newbery Medal or Honor Award book. Your review must include the title, the author's name, a short summary, your thoughts about the book, and a star rating (1 star = poor to 4 stars = great). Give the review to Ms. Goodnight-Click in the library for posting.

Tomie and his family want to move but their house is still being built. The road builders keep building the road lower and lower. Finally it rains and the rain froze and the road was good to drive on and they got to move into their house.
It was really good. I liked the way the events were so descriptive.

A family has been building a house on 26 Fairmount Avenue for a long time. When they are trying to build on it more and more stuff gets in the way of moving. finally, it is done and the whole family is happy.
It wasn't the best book because all it talked about is building a house.
