I know we have a thread about recomendations, but it often happens where you find a book you might be interested in, but want personal reccomendations from friends. I thought this would be a good place to do it
My question is about an author named Meindert de Jong. He's a Dutch author who immigrated to the US in 1914, and wrote the following books...
Shadrach
Hurry Home Candy
The Wheel on the School
The House of Sixty Fathers
Along Came A Dog
Journey from Peppermint Street
Every single one of those books won either the Newbery Medal, Newbery Honor or the National Book Award. That should be enough for me to buy them, but I can't find any other information about them.
Has anyone read any of these books?
What did you think of them?
