Mock Newbery
The John Newbery Medal is awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. This year, we have 25 candidates in our Mock Newbery program, hand picked by our expert children's literature team, that we think are the best of the best from the 2023 publication year.
