Books like this clever sci-fi thriller (middle-grade) remind me why I continue to read the Newbery winners. The audio was wonderful.

My theme this year is "Award Winners Edition"
The John #Newbery Medal is awarded annually for the most distinguished American children's book published the previous year. Started in 1922, it was the first children's book award in the world.

BOX: Henry Brown Mails Himself to Freedom | Carole Boston Weatherford

Cruelty upon cruelty. I felt this poem was one of the most striking and heartbreaking in the entire book, yet also so beautifully written. 💔
