I read 32. A lot came from my childhood. A few from reading for Battle of the Books. And, I love children's lit. A few that are memorable, besides the tagged,are Kira-Kira, Bud, Not Buddy, and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. Excellent literature. So many I still need to read.

I read this as a kid and was surprised by how much I loved it! Of course, it IS a Newbery book, so it was bound to be good. 😁

Read this as a child and loved it for the story. Read it again as an adult as part of a summer reading Bingo challenge (to check off the box for a YA selection) and loved it for the history. This is a book that stands the test of time and holds up as a novel for adults. And it is more meaningful for me now, as the parent of a young man in the military. Reading about young boys going to war is even more heartbreaking when it becomes personal.

My #war books. I went through an American Civil War phase in elementary school, and Rifles for Waite was one of my favorites.
