Last night I dreamed that the Newbery winners were determined by all of the nominees competing in a 100 meter dash.
Okay…
No idea why I was dreaming about the Newbery, but I think I can explain the running part. Just before I fell asleep, I was thinking about my main character Libby from Something to Blog About, who runs for her school’s track team.
The idea of racing for a book award is funny though. It’s like, “Okay, we don’t care about how well you write. We just want to see who’s the fastest. Now go!”
