As far as yout...I judge books by their covers, too.<br />As far as youth books go, I generally steer away from any mystical-type fairy/elves/magic books, and they are SO prevalent these days that it's annoying to me.<br />I have read quite a few Newbery award and Newbery honor books, as well as other books by Newbery authors. I've found that while some of the more current ones have been pretty good, most of my favorites were written in the 20s, 30s, 40s and maybe 50s. A few of my favorite Newbery books that come to mind are _Island of the Blue Dolphins_, _Rifles for Watie_, _Johnny Tremain_, and _Hitty: the First Hundred Years_.trenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955150071968033263noreply@blogger.com
