Ellsworth, Loretta. In Search of Mockingbird

George, Jessica Day. Dragon Slippers

Madden, Kerry. Louisiana's Song

Tarshis, Lauren. Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree

Wilson, N.D. Leepike Ridge


The next list will be posted in September 2007. As always, your comments & suggestions about titles are ENCOURAGED! Please continue to add comments about individual titles to the Recommended Titles of 2007 for the 2008 Mock Newbery section.

Because the Konigsburg book will not be released until September, I've taken it off our second reading list and replaced it with one of *my* favorite books of the year: Laura Vaccaro Seeger's Dog and Bear: Two Friends, Three Stories. You can expect to see The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic World by E.L. Konigsburg title on the September list!
