Thanks to the ACPL Kids Blog, I learned about Laura, a nine-year-old girl who is in the process of completing one of her goals: reading all of the Newbery winners. Laura has her own blog where she shares her thoughts about the books, and she would love to know what other readers, especially other kids, think about the award-winning books. Thanks, Laura, for sharing your blog (http://lauramitolife.blogspot.com/) with us! Wishing you all a wonderful new year, Teresa Walls ALSC Blog Manager
