2008-2009 Mark Twain Award Nominees
Posted by Mrs. Matzat on December 17, 2007
Can you believe that it’s already time to be thinking about next year’s Mark Twain Award nominees? It seems like we just got started with this year’s list! Well, the nominees for next year have been announced, so I thought you might like to see the list. That way, you can begin looking for those titles on your book order lists and at the February book fair. Remember, 2008-2009 is the first year of the new book award system. The Mark Twain Award is now geared for students in grades 3-5, and the new Truman Award will be geared for students in grades 6-8. I think this will be a great thing for our students.
So, without further ado, here are the 2008-2009 Mark Twain Award Nominees:
Wright 3 by Blue Balliett
Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters by Lesley Blume
Uncharted Waters by Leslie Bulion
Million Dollar Putt by Dan Gutman
Rules by Cynthia Lord
Small White Scar by K. A. Nuzum
Archer’s Quest by Linda Sue Park
Moon Shadow by Chris Platt
Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
Fairies of Nutfolk Wood by Barb Bentler Ullman
Finest Kind by Lea Wait
Counting on Grace by Elizabeth Winthrop
I’ve already started reading them, so look for my reviews and resources coming soon! Enjoy!
