And Who Won Brooklyn Public Library’s Mock Newbery?

January 4, 2008 by Betsy Bird   8 comments


Why that would be Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis.

Honors went to Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson and Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt.

And because it’s just fun to look and see what the Mock Newbery reading lists are, here are a couple I found while trolling the web.

  • The Allen County Public Library
  • Anderson’s Bookshop
  • Bergen County Cooperative Library System
  • Johnson County Library System
  • Northport-East Northport Public Library
  • The Public Libraries of Fulton, Montgomery, Schenectady and Schoharie Counties
  • State of Rhode Island Mock Newbery Award
  • Twelve Corners Middle School
  • Westchester Library Association


This isn’t all of them by any means, but it’s a nice little place to start.

    I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Wednesday Wars is not by Gary Paulsen, it is by Gary D. Schmidt. I hate to point this out, but I really loved it so I wanted to make sure it was correct.
    I love Elijah Buxton too!
