Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy by Gary Schmidt - Book Review Cobb, a crusty old racist who learns to love a black girl and an ill-mannered boy; Willis, who seems to be a bully but has an ironclad sense of what’s right; his father, Deacon Hurd, whose pride goeth before a fall; and many others, a Dickensian wealth of real characters. Based on true events, which readers may want to research, this tragic novels offers much for discussion: in addition to its depiction of New England racism, there are relationships of many kinds to explore, moral growth and change in several characters, majority vs. minority rights, and unintended consequences of one’s actions. And evolution is not just individual -- the relationships and understandings between the characters change, and change again. www.commonsensemedia.org /reviews/review.php?id=3320&type=Book   (703 words)

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy (Newbery Honor Book): Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data Having finally finished, "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy", I see now that the 2005 Newbery year was one filled with books for older child readers. I still wouldn't think that Lizzie Bright is Newbery worthy because it is too heavy themed with death, religious persecution, and the sentencing of the elderly to insane asylums. Recognized with the Prinz Award for Young Adult Literature and a Newberry Honor Book, the story is not only engaging and serious, but also extremely well written. www.mysqlwebhosting.biz /stuff-0618439293.html   (3611 words)

When I was grousing about that fact to a librarian, she told me that the Newbery is often won by a compromise book, because the better books have such passionate devotees on the committee that they cancel each other out. fullcatalog.info /1048646/goods0618439293.html   (1066 words)
