Now this would be a challenge

An invitation to compress any Newbery Medal or Newbery Honor book into a 90-second video.  Any takers on The Thief?

Check out the Wrinkle in Time one -- it's pretty hilarious, though I do think Meg should have been wearing glasses.

i wonder

[pysch-colours.livejournal.com]

is it just me and the effect of too many essays for english, or does mrs. turner mention the moon a lot?
like, enough to make it a motif or a symbol of something? phresine tells that story to gen in king of attolia, and the whole thing that got me thinking about this is attolia's little bit when she's trying to sleep in queen and the narrator says she looked at the moon or something.
i think there are more examples of this, but i haven't got the books with me right now, so i can't cite any.
maybe i'm just overthinking this. maybe there're really not that many examples and i'm seeing what i want to see.
