Thanks, Rebecca – added!
I just saw that Kate DiCamillo has Louisiana’s Way Home coming out in October. Cover image and announcement on the Candlewick Press facebook page.
Thank you for the heads up, Misti!
Thanks for posting this list—and the previous ones re: books by the honor and medalists for Newbery & Caldecott. Although it’s a bit depressing to know that I’ll never have the time to read them all this year, I don’t know of any other place where I can view them all together like this and at least begin to have a memory bank of the cover images for when I’m browsing at the book store. Joyce Sidman’s The Girl Who Drew Butterflies (which I have already read) is superbly written and exquisitely illustrated! I’m looking forward to reading these latest titles by Kate, Jacqueline, and Cynthia, too.
Great list! Also coming: Sheila Turnage’s The Law of Finders Keepers on September 11th (author of Three Times Lucky).
