Newbery Winners from the Nineteen Seventies
There are some outstanding novels in this collection of Newbery books, and I get excited when I remember reading and enjoying them. Some of my favorites are Sing Down the Moon, The Westing Game, and The Periolous Gard. There are other excellent novels - it is so hard to pick only a few.

- A String in the Harp is the book that started my passion for reading and my passion for all things UK. I reread it occasionally (still the original copy) :) Loved Westing Game, and anyone who loves Harry Potter should read the Dark Is Rising series!
