the best part about being a teacher is being part of scholastic bookclub. remember the lucky, arrow, wombat and star book club catalogues we received in primary school? they have some pretty amazing book discounts, and as a teacher we get bonus incentives, free books and vouchers!! its a book worms dream :)

anyways i got my hands on this book(courtesy of bookclub) after realizing it was the winner of the newbery medal 2009. i kinda go on the premise that if a book won an award it cant be too bad. so far so good - i cant say its a page turner... its taken me about 1-2 months to complete it. if im really into a book i will try to finish it as soon as possible.

worth a read for something different.

if you're interested in finding the newbery medal award winners for previous years - just google it, you'll end up in wikipedia. i try to read books that have won a newbery medal award to my kids, so they get a chance to read something different.
