Rebecca Caudill 2008 Winner


The state winner of the 2008 Rebecca Caudill award is Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick. A total of 38,340 votes were cast across the state and these voters agree with Prairie students that Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie is definitely a book worth reading! The other place winners are:

2nd place: The Old Willis Place by Mary Downing Hahn

3rd place: MVP*: Magellan Voyage Project by Douglas Evans

4th place: The Miraculous Journey by Kate DiCamillo

5th place: The Ranger's Apprentice/Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan

We have four days left before Spring Break. Stop by the library to check out some books for vacation. We have just added many new books to our collection. Another item for checkout that might help break up a long car trip would be one of our audiobooks. We have many titles on cassette and CD. We would be happy to recommend or help you find a book or audiobook to enjoy over break.

I thought Drums Girls and Dangerous Pie was a great book. It definitly brought out my emotions. At some parts I was sad but at others i was rolling on the floor laughing. I am glad that it won the Rebecca Caudill award. Can someone tell me if this author has written any other books?

yes he wrote a book called Notes from a Midnight Driver, which is really really good.
