Last Stop on Market Street

Lot to love here, though I think there are just a few false notes (the spread of CJ and the music was too far out of the tone and pace of the story). Overall, a lovely and authentic story about a familial relationship that's not often shown in this way and gentle lessons on service, community, and attitude.

I'm still wondering about the claim for Newbery, though. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for the final committee arguments.
