Dead End in Norvelt - Newbery Winner

   The Newbery winner has just been anounced on January 23, 2012 at 7:45 a.m.  The winner is Dead End in Norvelt.  This book by author Jack Gantos will delight and amuse you.  Boys will love how Jack Gantos the main character gets into trouble just being a boy.  He fires a rifle he was told not to touch and causes a nose bleed that scares his mother half to death.  The blood on his shirt is not from being shot by the rifle he fired.  He's prone to nose bleeds at the slightest excitement.   He's grounded for life but that doesn't stop him from reading or having adventures that have tons of action.  Look out for nose bleeds of extreme description.  Have fun reading this Newbery award winning book!  It will make you laugh out loud and hopefully you won't get a nose bleed reading it.  The Newbery honor books are Inside Out & Back Again by Thanhha Lai and Breaking Stalin's Nose by Eugene Yelchin. These two books are on order and will be available soon.  Dead End in Norvelt is avalable for check out from the Laurens County Library System.  Pam Bennett, Children's Coordinator
