My mom and I are predicting that "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon" by Grace Lin should be the Newbery Winner (or maybe Newbery Honor) book for 2010. The real winner will be announced this Monday, January 18, 2010.
My mom is reading this book out loud to my sister and I right now. It's about a little girl that lives in early China. This is a great book. The book mixes her adventures with fairy tales that people tell her as she goes along the way, searching for The Old Man on the Moon. The girl is searching for the Old Man on the Moon because she lives in a really poor village and she thinks the Old Man on the Moon can change her fortune.
It has a dragon that comes to life out of a painting. This shows that the author uses a lot of details and has a really good knowledge of art. Its really good how they tie this fairy tale into the regular story, so it's like getting two good books in one, which is unusual.
If this book wins the Newbery Medal, I will rank it second, right after The Grey King. This is a really wonderful book, and creates good pictures in your head. I also think this book would make a good movie. I'm not sure the Newbery People are looking for that, but it's a really interesting, really good book. I think it should win the medal!
