[LM_NET] HIT->Something like Newbery

[Susan Benedetto <sbenedetto@STCHARLES.K12.LA.US>]

Thanks to all of your responses. Most of you responded that the Printz Award
was the first stop while Coretta Scott King and Alex were noteworthy as
well. The YALSA site, www.ala.org/yalsa

 was a one-stop-shop.Thanks! An important discovery, however, is that not
all adolescent novels are appropriate for middle school children. I've
taught high school for 24 years and find myself in a middle school for the
first time - I'm adjusting, pleasantly, but I'd like for the experts out
there to add an indicator to these lists to alert me that some of the books
might not be appropriate for middle school children (with explanation,
perhaps). Maybe there is one -

Thanks again!
