I recently listened to the audiobook of The Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare, a 1984 Newbery Honor book. Here's my review:

Matt and his father have been working hard to prepare their homestead in Maine for the arrival of Matt's mother and sister. Now, Matt's father must make the long journey back to Massachusetts to fetch them -- and Matt must stay and take care of the cabin and the crops. When Matt's gun is stolen by a sketchy trapper who happens by, he worries how he will get along without the ability to hunt. He sees a lot of fish in his future! When Matt gets into trouble with a swarm of angry bees, a Native American man Saknis and his grandson Attean come to Matt's rescue. In gratitude, Matt offers them one of his prized possessions: a copy of Robinson Crusoe -- but the Native Americans do not know how to read English. Matt agrees to teach Attean to read. At first, Matt and Attean do not get along very well, but over time they come to understand one another better. When winter comes and Matt's family has still not arrived, Matt must make a difficult decision: will he keep waiting at the cabin, or will he travel with Attean and his tribe? What if Matt's father never comes?

This is a gripping story, but it has many problematic aspects, particularly in its treatment of Native American culture. Some of the author's word choices are especially poor -- Attean and his grandfather tend to speak in "grunts," women are sometimes referred to as "squaws," and when Matt observes a ceremonial dance, he compares it mentally to a clowing routine. On the other hand, by the end of the novel, Matt has come to a greater appreciation of Native Americans, recognizing that they have taught him how to survive is the wild and have extended hospitality and friendship to him, and there is a sense that he regrets the fact that the Native American hunting grounds will soon be full of white settlers. Matt's nuanced character development is probably what earned this book its Newbery Honor, but it isn't enough to offset the problematic attitudes inherent in the book, and I'd have a hard time recommending this book to young readers of today.

I listened to the audiobook version, and was not particularly impressed. The author has a tendency to use too much emphasis, a delivery that comes across as forceful and distracting to me.

I read The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate last year -- since it is the 2013 Newbery Award winner, I am posting my review here now:

The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate is many things: a verse novel, a tear-jerker, based on a true story. Ivan is a gorilla who has spent nearly 30 years as the main attraction in a run-down circus-themed shopping mall. He's been alone so long that, for all he knows, he might be the only gorilla left in the world -- despite the fact that, at his age, he should be the head of a gorilla family, resposible for protecting and leading his pack. His best friends are a scrappy homeless dog named Bob, and Stella, the elephant who is the mall's other main attraction. Ivan and Stella are resigned to living life in their small cages, but when the mall's owner Mack brings in Ruby, a baby elephant, Ivan finds that he does have something worth protecting, after all. How can he save Ruby from a lifetime of imprisonment at the shopping mall?

Ivan is a gorilla of great understanding but few words, so the spare format of the verse novel suits this book well. It's written as a middle-grade novel, and though it does contain a few emotionally distressing scenes, there are no overt instances of cruelty such as you might expect in an adult novel. The characters are complex -- even Mack, the owner of the shopping mall, is not simply painted as the Bad Guy. The book tackles a lot of thought-provoking issues about animal rights, without ever becoming too preachy -- and though I shed a few tears in the middle, the ending of the story is ultimately hopeful.

I also read Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage before it won its 2013 Newbery honor -- here's my review of that one:

Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage is a middle-grade mystery set in small-town North Carolina. Eleven-year-old Mo LoBeau doesn't have what you might call a normal family life -- when she was a baby, she was washed down the river in the aftermath of a hurricane, right into the arms of the Colonel, who was himself suffering from amnesia. Now Mo, the Colonel, and flamboyant Miss Lana run a cafe in Tupelo Landing, and Mo regularly sends out messages in bottles to her "Upstream Mother," asking anyone who's traveling upriver to drop one in the current for her. Other than existential angst over her biological origins, however, Mo is fairly content and happy in her small-town world. Then, one day, a cafe regular is murdered, a couple of big-city detectives roll into town, and Mo's entire world seems about to be torn up by the roots. She and her family may even find themselves in danger. Can Mo, along with her sidekick Dale Earnhardt Johnson III, solve the mystery?

This was a fairly enjoyable read. I have to admit, any story with amnesia as a major plot point makes me roll my eyes a little bit. The writing style felt like a cross between Polly Horvath and Kate DiCamillo -- authentic Southern charm with a hint of straight-up weirdness. Readers who like books by those authors will probably like this one. For me, it was just all right, not fantastic.

And while I am posting them, I also read Splendors and Glooms by Laura Amy Schlitz before it won its 2013 Newbery honor -- here's that review:

There's a lot to recommend Splendors & Glooms by Laura Amy Schlitz: characters, atmosphere, setting, style . . . but be ready for a book that does not rush, that you sink into and enjoy slowly.

Clara is a daughter of privilege, the only living child of her wealthy and doting parents. Lizzie Rose and Parsefall are ragged urchins, apprentices to Grisini, a street performer. Grisini has an almost magical skill with puppets, and a dark past that hints of real black magic. When Grisini is hired to perform a puppet show at Clara's birthday party, little do the three children know that their lives are about to become inexplicably intertwined.

I very much enjoyed this book, with its Dickensian setting and characters, the subtle touches of magic, the hints of pathos behind each child's story. It's an oddly compelling and somewhat demanding story, and from the reviews I've read, it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of book. I loved it.

Then I forgot all about this thread for three years. I did keep up with the new winners and honor books, and read a few more of the older ones as well.

Since the last time I posted here, I've read quite a few more books, including the 2017 medal winner and several of the very old ones. I've updated my list above.

Updating again — I’ve read Crispin: The Cross of Lead and The Inquisitor’s Tale since last I posted.

And today I finished formatting the list of honor books, and polished off a couple of short ones: Freedom Over Me and Dark Emperor.

I updated my lists to include the newest winners -- I read one of the honor books this year: The Night Diary. Hope to get to the others soon-ish. And I did read last year's winner, but haven't gotten to some of the honor books yet.

I love it when the Newbery Medal winner is a book I've already read! . . . On the other hand, I have read none of the honor books yet.

Since I last posted, I read the 2019 winner and the other 2019 honor book, plus an old honor book, Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer.

I've updated my list again. I read all of the 2022 books, which is unsurprising, as I was on the committee that chose them. ;-)

I just updated my top post, having read A Gathering of Days in the last days of 2022. It was . . . fine. A good book for readers who enjoy historical novels like Caddie Woodlawn. I have only 3 more books to read before I can say that I've read all of the Newbery Medal winners awarded in my lifetime . . . well, and whatever wins this year, of course. I know from experience that the current committee is working hard as things come down to the wire!

I'm doing my Newbery challenge in a more haphazardly fashion, reading whatever shows up next at the used bookstore!

>16 foggidawn: Oh, I'm plenty haphazard! I just noticed how many of the recent winners I've read, and thought I might try next for all of the ones in my lifetime. But if an older one catches my eye, I will go for it!

I've updated my list with this year's winners. I hadn't read any of them before the award was announced, but I've since read The Last Mapmaker and enjoyed it. I have the others on hand and plan to get to them soon.

I just came back to update my top posts -- I read this year's honor books, and they were okay, but Freewater really knocked my socks off. What a great pick! I'm working on Out of the Dust now -- as it's a verse novel, it should go quickly.

Edit: And it did -- marking that off the list now.

I've updated my top posts to include the 2024 winner and honor books. Unsurprisingly, I've read none of them (I haven't read a whole lot of children's books this year), but I'm excited to get to them soon.
