What is Anokaberry Annotated?
Anokaberry posted the Best Books of 2008 for Middle Grade Readers on January 9, 2009. Anokaberry is now Anokaberry Annotated. This new aspect of the blog means an accent, a tone, a personal, distinct voice may surface. This blog continues to present books published in the current year for middle grade readers but will also have editorial comment and attitude. Look for more ordered labeling for the coming year -- most obviously labeling that denotes genre: realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, biography, poetry and verse, folklore/folktale and fantasy. Next January's list will honor books of excellence by genre.

...With readily recognizable characters, a quirky but nonetheless loyal and loving family, and a growing-into-oneself story with just the right amount of nuance for young adolescents, this novel will appeal to readers of realistic fiction who appreciate happy endings and who may be reaching to identify their own special place in the world.
