If I was on the Newbery committee this year, (I am not!) I would pick Refugee and Wishtree as winners! Both were well written and had a great story. Both books moved me and contain important themes about immigration and community. Refugee is for grades 4 and up. Caution sensitive readers because it is intense. Wishtree is great for 2nd grade and up. It would make a great classroom read aloud.
