About this listen

In this episode, I talk about the 1922 Newbery Medal! It was the first year of the Newbery, and there were five books named for runner-up and one Newbery Medal winner.

I talked about the plots, the writing style, the major problems with them, and my general thoughts about them, and why they should be read or not in our day!
