90 Second Newbery

Tuesday, January 25, 2011 - - 2 Comments

Every year since 1922, the American Library Association has awarded the very prestigious Newbery Medal. Now that we've already learned of our 2011 winner, a quick calculation tells us that there are 89 Newbery Medal books in all! That's a lot! Have you read them all?

Me neither.

But wouldn't it be nice to say that you did? Well, it might not be exactly the same as reading the book, but check out a 90 second reenactment of the 1963 winner, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle:



Get it? Want to make your own? Check out: 90secondnewbery.com for more information about the program, which is run by teen author James Kennedy.

Happy acting!

Hello, this is James Kennedy, the co-curator of the "90-Second Newbery" film festival!

I'm also the author of the young adult fantasy The Order of Odd-Fish. I notice you do not have it in your catalog. THUS, YOUR LIBRARY WILL SOON FEEL THE FULL FORCE OF MY WRATH.

Regards,

Your imminent annihilator
