I have Tales From Silver Lands marked as read, but I would not be able to tell you anything about the book. I know it was a collection of stories set in South America. We're a public library, so I keep the copies for historical purposes. Also, we only have one copy for most of the early Newbery winners, since they were purchased when we just had one library, so it's not like they're taking up much room. <br /><br />It's been interesting to go back and revisit some that I read in my childhood. I remember liking Miracles on Maple Hill, but I thought it was rather boring! On the other hand, I read Ginger Pye for the first time and loved it.Jennifer Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612115213309097823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37239637.post-12464902237847701542012-04-17T19:48:54.057-04:002012-04-17T19:48:54.057-04:00The Newbery Challenge had no appeal to me-- I'...The Newbery Challenge had no appeal to me-- I've already struggled through Waterless Mountain and Gay-Neck, neither of which any of my students will read. In fact, there were so many giggles over Gay-Neck that I finally weeded it.Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.com
