- 24. Interpretation of the Theme or Concept … Fortune was not a house full of gold and jade, but something much more. Something she already had and didn’t need to change. “I didn’t ask the question,” Minli said again and smiled, “because I don’t need to know the answer.”
- 25. Presentation of Information … Why fight? The white judges, the intimidating police, the insulting drivers, and the crushing weight of all the years of custom and law were simply overwhelming.
- 26. I read the note over and over. But I have to tell you that I had no idea what any of it meant, until later. And I have to tell you something else, too: I was scared. You scared the hell out of me. Development of a Plot
- 27. “ Bath is a waste of time, money, and effort…A little dirt makes a person healthy,” I insist. “Look, all I got to do is spit on my hands and rub ‘em on my trousers. See? Good as new.” Delineation of Characters
- 28. Delineation of a Setting I looked up at the filmy bags of webworms high above me in the lush canopy of oaks bending over the river. The webworms seemed to mirror me, floating in their own balloons of gauze in the pale turquoise sky.
- 29. … Kids are walking down the street toward school. One kid has green suede boots. One has a charge account at Gold’s. One has keys in her pocket. “ Does it really matter?” I asked myself. It did. I got up, turned on the television, and tried to think about nothing for a change. Appropriateness of Style

Editor's Notes
- Newbery Committee chose When Your Reach Me; OLA/WLA Mock chose Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
- Ness was born in America, obtained British citizenship and lives there, but has dual citizenship. Hardinge is English + lives there
- Paterson – Bridge + Jacob; Woodson – Feathers, Tupac, Show Way
- Examples of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry from 2009
- Crow Call = elementary school picture book; Lips Touch = YA, but fine for 13 & 14 year olds
- The theme of noticing the beauty in the everyday world runs through Kira-Kira . Consider how the author conveys it through characters, dialogue, and plot. P 259
- Not just getting in facts, but also explaining conditions, feelings, and motivations related to the facts. P. 9
- Deciding when and how to reveal the notes, and everything related to them. P. 68
- Narration, dialogue, and action can convey the character as well as description. P. 119
- Describes where she is and what she’s doing, but also what it means to her, how she sees it. P. 3
- Writing style doesn’t need to be eloquent or poetic to be effective. The direct, declarative style fits M’s need to carefully present facts and details. It also means when she does slip and reveal an emotion, it’s powerful. Can compare this style to Calpurnia (eloquent), Home (folksy), Mountain (storyteller-ish), Claudette (historical but with some fire) P. 133
- Creating a checklist for narrative elements is not especially helpful. The elements emerge in unison, not through isolated moments. And not every book needs to be strong in all areas. A fiction book like When You Reach Me may not need to be distinguished in the area of information. Plot is less relevant to a non-fiction book such as Claudette Colvin (though arranging the presentation of information may be considered similar to plot).
- Moonshot: Excellent illsutrations, but must focus on text. January’s Sparrow : Could argue that the illustrations are too vivid, too melodramatic…
- One 2001 Honor book featured an inspiring, positive teen who gets involved in local politics to save her community ( Hope Was Here ); another starred an out of control boy who pierces his dog’s ear with a dart. The Newbery committee looked for literary excellence, not ideal role models.
- One library’s circulation status in November 2010. The Newbery Committee looks for distinguished quality, not anticipated popularity, sales, or circulation.
