Nerdbery

Mr. Schu of Watch. Connect. Read. and Colby Sharp of Sharp Read created the #Nerdbery challenge to encourage those interested in reading every Newbery Medal winner since the award's inception in 1922. They have been going through them year-by-year, but as I am a late joiner, I am using this page to simply keep track of which books I have left to read (* indicate books read by my students during the year. Linked titles go to posts with my reviews).
