Yay! I loved When You Reach Me. One of my favorite books of the year!

When You Reach Me left me feeling a bit puzzled, which I liked because it made me think. Honestly, I felt like I needed to reed some parts again. It was a great read.
I suggested this book to 4 or 5 middle school students, and each one enjoyed it.

I used to LOVE lois lowery, I'm still a big reader, actually I'm an English Major now. I credit my parents with my love of reading. I had a really hard time learing how to read, but thanks to great books, great teachers, and great parents I got through it. (I however still have trouble spelling and using proper grammer :/)

So many good books on this list! Thanks for publishing it. Though, I think that a lot of the best books I have read never won an award. My niece loves A Tale of Three (http://www.amazon.com/Tale-Three-Adventures-Lonilan-Alyssia/dp/1448620171/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1315092276&sr=8-3) - and I think anything that gets kids happy about reading is a good thing.
