It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

This book was purchased from the Tecumseh Library's for sale rack. I need a few books to read while on vacation in Oklahoma.
This book is a Newbery Medal Honor Book for the year 2003.
The Newbery Medal was named for eighteenth-century British bookseller John Newbery. It is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.

This book was on the Sequoyah Book Award Masterlist for Young Adults for the year 2005.
Sponsored by the Oklahoma Library Association (OLA), the annual Sequoyah Book Award is a student’s choice award presented since 1959. The program added a Young Adult literature award in 1987. Books chosen for the annual Sequoyah masterlist are selected by two committees of OLA members. Each member of the committee reads over 100 books before recommending titles for the masterlists.
During the school year, young Oklahomans from grades three through junior high are encouraged to read the titles from the masterlist. Students must read or listen to three books in order to cast a vote. The winning book is announced in February and the award is presented during the annual Oklahoma Library Association’s spring conference.
With this award, Oklahoma honors the Native American leader, Sequoyah, for his unique achievement in creating the Cherokee syllabary. In so doing, he created a way to preserve his people’s language and culture.

I liked this book and I can immediately see why it was chosen for several awards. It is curious from the very beginning and draws the reader in to figure out how the events are going to be connected.
I’m not sure that I really liked the characters but I think that they might very well be representative of what real people might be like. I also don’t know that I was comfortable with a children’s book that had so many controversial issues in the background that an adult can easily pick up from “between the lines”.
The storyline seemed to wander at times and I wished it could have stayed on track a little better. I sometimes felt like there were parts that didn’t seem to matter to the whole story and that maybe the book was getting a little bit long.
I would recommend this book to young people and older people because the idea is strong that we need to stand up for the environment and learn how to make our beliefs heard even though some of the ways that it was done in this story bordered on criminal.

I didn't get a chance to release all of the books while in Oklahoma so I had to leave some behind. This one will be in storage until I return to Oklahoma and get the chance to release it.
