|
This boxed set presents four Newbery Honor Books from leading authors of children's literature, for readers 9 and up. Hans Christian Andersen Award winner Scott O'Dell offers The Black Pearl, about a young diver from Baja California who seeks the magnificent Pearl of Heaven, in a tale that reverberates with "proud admiration of the courage of the human spirit" (Publishers Weekly). In On My Honor, "a powerful, soul-stirring novel told simply and well" (Booklist, starred review) by Lambda Literary Award winner Marion Dane Bauer, best friends Joel and Tony go swimming in a dangerous riverand only one of them returns. Catherine, Called Birdy, Karen Cushman's "superb historical fiction" (School Library Journal, starred review), authentically depicts life in a medieval manor for an intelligent and ambitious young woman with no desire to be married. And Gary Schmidt, author of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, chronicles The Wednesday Wars, in which 7th-grader Holling can't fathom why his English teacher wants him to read Shakespeare, in a "gentle, hopeful, moving story ... [that] makes the implausible believable and the everyday momentous" (Booklist, starred review).
