Big fan of a lot of children's Newberry books - recs?
I love children's books and want to try more of these (or Newberry honors if you have recs for them). I've already read a good few on the list but wanna hear what people think are good for my tastes.
The ones I've read and liked include Holes, Tale of Desperaux, Maniac Magee, Dear Me Henshaw, The Westing Game, Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, From the Mixed up files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler and probably some others. Some non Newberry books I've read and enjoyed were by author's like Roald Dahl, Louis Sachar, Beverly Clearly, Jerry Spinelli, Judy Blume, JK Rowling, Andrew Clements and a few others.
My favorite genre is mystery then probably some sort of adventure or hero/superhero story. I prefer male protagonists if possible.
Dislike stories about race/ethnicity and fantasy/scifi - I want something more grounded in real life but fun. Any thoughts are appreciated - thanks!
