Young Reader in Indiana Starts Book Club for Peers

Indianapolis Star

As a second-grade student Laura Rodgers set out to read all of the children's books that had been awarded a John Newbery Medal before entering middle school. At age 10, preparing to enter fifth grade at Zionsville West Middle School, she finished all 89 books with time to spare. Laura wants to bring other students along on her journey as she starts the Mock Newbery Award Youth Committee at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library. The idea is for Laura and her peers in third through eighth grades to read books published in 2010 that could qualify, vote for their winner and see if it matches the committee's selection for the 2011 Newbery Award.
