Newbery Medal Award

The Newbery Medal Award, we hear the name and immediately think that the book must be amazing. But wait, what does it mean if a book has a Newbery Medal Award? How in the world would you get a Newbery medal award?! A book with the Newbery Medal Award, it means that the book was a very well written book for children. So, if you see a book with the Newbery seal on it, the chances are that if you’re in the range of 7-14 years old, you’ll enjoy it.

You will meet Laura’s family- older sister Mary, younger sisters Carrie and Grace, Ma, Pa, good old bull dog Jack, and Kitty.

The Book or the Movie?

Would you prefer the book or the movie? Movies have a ton of special effects, and added drama (usually). Yet, some people would rather curl up with the book and read it for hours. Would the movie change the meaning of the book? An example is Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Comparing Disney’s version to the original, the different spirits seem to act a bit different. For example, The Spirit of Christmas Present acts like a jolly spirited spirit… but, why did Disney add in the two kids? Want, the girl, wasn’t in Charles’ story. On the other hand, it really had emphasized on what Charles hoped everyone would see, the problem with the gap between the poor and the rich.

Harry Potter vs Twilight

Who’s side are you on? Personally, I’ve had about enough of these werewolves and vampires. Why can’t we all come back to Hogwarts? Twilight fans and Harry Potter fans have been arguing ever since the first book came out. Who will come out on top? I’m hoping that it’s the wizard.
