Newbery Award Winner Books

"To the library.
Books and summertime
go together."
-Lisa Schroeder
I'm going to read all the Newbery Medal Books before long! I've read 14 so far out of the 90 that have been awarded. I have to read them somewhat quickly because each year a new book is awarded and added to the list.
These are the ones I have read so far and my rating of them:

Moon Over Manifest (2011) 5/5 stars
When You Reach Me (2010) 4/5 stars
Crispin and the Cross of Lead (2003) 5/5 stars
Holes (1999) 5/5 stars
Walk Two Moons (1995) 4/5 stars
The Giver (1994) 4/5 stars
Missing May (1993) 3/5 stars
Maniac Magee (1991) 5/5 stars
Number the Stars (1990) 5/5 stars
Sarah, Plain and Tall (1986) 3/5 stars

I'm also reading The Hobbit in anticipation of the movie! Can't wait!!! Reading is one of the best parts of Summer!
