1972 Newbery Medal
Mrs. Frisby's son Timothy was seriously ill. They had to move because the farmer was going to plow the field and rosebush. In the end, they move and Timothy becomes well again.
I thought it was a great adventure story that showed things that could happen in life.
4 stars - It was a great book and I recommend it to others.

Soonie's grandmother teaches her how to sew stars, moons, and roads on quilts to help slaves runaway at night. Then towards the end, Ann and Caroline are seven years old and are standing in line with their mother. They're in line to change the law about the differences of the black and whites.
The book was ok but most of the time I wasn't interested reading it.

Doctor DeSoto by William Steig
1982 Newbery Honor
Dr. Soto is a dentist, but he is a mouse and does not treat things that eat him. But when a fox has a very bad cavity, the doctor helps him. So when he thinks the fox will eat him, he puts glue on its teeth so the fox will never visit him again.
It was ok but it would be better if they showed whatever happened to the fox after he leaves.

From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
1968 Newbery Medal
In the first part of the book, Claudia thinks she is not appreciated so she runs away from home with James, her brother, for a few days to the Metropolitan Museum. But when she goes there and sees a statue called Angel, she has to know more about it. This leads her to Farmington, Conn, to the house of Mrs. Frankweiler. Mrs. Frankweiler gives them the information they need and a ride home.
It was a good book, but what made it just good was that they never really needed the money from the fountain.
