The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo

Behold the Bold Umbrellaplant: And Other Poems

Yellow Star

From 1939, when Syvia is four and a half years old, to 1945 when she has just turned ten, a Jewish girl and her family struggle to survive in Poland's Lodz ghetto during the Nazi occupation.

John, Paul, George and Ben
Lane Smith
These lads were always getting into trouble for one reason or another. In other words, they took a few… liberties. And to be honest, they were not always appreciated. This is the story of five little lads before they became five really big Founding Fathers.

Crossing Bok Chitto
Tim Tingle
The river Bok Chitto divides the Choctaw nation from the plantations of Mississippi. If a slave escaped and made his way across Bok Chitto, the slave was free, the slave owner could not follow. That was the law. But Bok Chitto holds a secret: a rock pathway that lies just below the surface of the water. When a slave boy and his family are befriended by a Choctaw girl, the pathway becomes part of an ingenious plan that enables the slaves to cross the river to freedom-in plain view of a band of slave hunters during a full moon.

Students are encouraged to read and vote for their one favorite book of the year from the masterlists of titles. The books receiving the most votes from the students win the awards. A committee of educators and librarians select the books nominated for the awards.
