Note: You may also want to take a look at our Third Short List from October 24.
We always stay late after closing at the library when we make a short list, partly because it takes longer than our usual meetings and partly so we can play the traditional game of Eva Perry Mock Newbery Club Lock-In Freeze Tag. So here is a picture of everybody’s shoes while they are racing around screaming and laughing playing freeze tag. And here is that long awaited second short list. Now that we’ve read more books we have new favorites, but several of the old favorites are still on there.
