Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village by Laura Schlitz

2008 Newbery Medal

I did not like it because I could not understand the religion. I kind of liked it. It talked about God. It also talked about the devil.

I did not like it. It was terrible. I would not tell a friend to read it.

Stanley gets sent to a camp because he stole baseball shoes from an orphanage. So while he was there, they had to dig holes everyday. One day, his friend Zero ran away and he had to go find him. On his trip, they had to climb up a mountain to get food and water to live.

I think it was great and Louis Sachar is a great author.

Newbery Medal

Stanley Yelnats gets sent to Camp Green Lake because of stolen shoes! Then he has to dig holes for awhile until he is freed. Meanwhile he meets the gang. One character is Zero. He never talks but Stanley makes him whenever he was talking about the stolen shoes. Later Stanley and Zero go on an adventure because of Zero's grandma. Read the book to get the 411 on the rest!

I think that it was very interesting about an adventure between two bonding "brothers!"
