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.

This sounds like so much fun. My siblings and I are already planning. Maybe we should have our own competition for who can do the best rendition of any of the books. I would love to see more fan videos of the books!

XD Oh wow...those kids are adorable. I wish I was a kid again.

A little farther down there's a link to a video of Kennedy and Neil Gaiman fighting for the Newberry Award - watch it. It's as hilarious as the Wrinkle in Time video. I love seeing adults act like kids!

I saw that! Too funny, especially at the end where the one kid is dancing around like a MANIAC and everyone else frantically gets out of the way and stops to watch him.

Participants do have to be under 18, but surely we have some younger fans who would be interested?
