2022 Newbery Winner and Honor Books

Yes, still in catch-up mode here at Compass Book Ratings, but better late than never. If there was a theme to this year’s Newbery line-up it would be family and storytelling. Regarding genre, it was all over the map, and again the age range is wide going from picture book to upper middle grade. The book that grabbed my heart was Watercress.

An accountant and CPA by profession, I found myself a book reviewer for Squeaky Clean Reads by happenstance. When the opportunity came to transform that website into Compass Book Ratings, I was excited to seize it and meld my business background with my love of books. As the mother of three teenage sons, I have read a large number of children and young adult books and I believe that there is great value in a content review service. As much as we would love to read everything our children read, there just isn’t enough time. I also appreciate being able to select books for myself that are really worth my precious and limited reading time. I believe there is a book out there for everyone–they just have to find it!
