2010 Medal Winner
The 2010 Newbery Medal winner is **//When You Reach Me//** by Rebecca Stead, published by Wendy Lamb Books, an imprint of Random House Children's Books. Twelve-year-old Miranda encounters shifting friendships, a sudden punch, a strange homeless man and mysterious notes that hint at knowledge of the future. These and other seemingly random events converge in a brilliantly constructed plot.

2010 Honor Books
Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice//** by Phillip Hoose, published by Melanie Kroupa Books, Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Hoose reveals the true story of an unsung hero of the Montgomery bus boycott. Hoose’s work stands out for its creative approach to narrative biography. Colvin’s own recollections are merged seamlessly with the narrative voice, providing a uniquely personal view of Colvin and the Civil Rights Movement.

//** The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate**// by Jacqueline Kelly, published by Henry Holt and Company.

Kelly’s rich, evocative language captures Callie’s distinctive voice and lively observations of the natural world.

//** Where the Mountain Meets the Moon**// by Grace Lin, published by Little, Brown and Company Books for Young Readers. A rich tapestry of stories, both original and traditional, transports readers to a fantastic world where Dragon joins Minli on a fortune-changing quest.
