Title: A Newbery failure
Review: Okay, I don't get it, how the Newbery Committee comes up with its winners. This book is long, dull, and grinding. I'm angry about this selection. The writing is nice, but writing doesn't make a story. I can say that I read two to three books that should've won EVERYTHING, unlike this one. Most of all, The Willoughby Spit Wonder, by Jonathon Fuqua, is funny, sad, uplifting, and an absolutely great work that should be in every bookstore. Come on, isn't the Newbery supposed to find works for young adults, not adults? They need to do their work and find books that excite us. Kira-Kira doesn't. So, go out and find your own masterpieces. I've found mine and highly recommend it. You can no longer count of the Newbery Committee to come up with the books we want.
