Re: Target: ELEM: The Giver

[Jill G Brandon <JBrandon3@COMPUSERVE.COM>]

I really think that "The Giver" is a good example of what's wrong with th=
e
Newbery Award.   The commitee chooses books on tha basis of     adult
criteria, instead of what kids willl like and read.  Although I have read=

and loved most of the Newbery books,  how many kids really read and enjoy=

"The Midwife"s Apprentice" or "The Giver"?
