I will third A Wrinke in Time because it’s one I was thinking of nominating. I have never read this classic, but I bought it several years ago on sale intending to read it someday.

issybird mentioned before that she has been having computer problems, so I think her machine must have collapsed completely, as she hasn’t been keeping the thread up to date.
I expect she will find some way to get it sorted out, but in the meantime I think we have five books fully nominated, and three in the one or two votes category. Fully nominated: Airman The Go-between Anne of Green Gables The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe A Wrinkle in Time One or two nominations: One Night in Winter * Mother Carey’s Chickens * The Star Beast ** Hope that helps. |

For my last ticket I nominate The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It is a parody of (and tribute to) Jungle Book. It is the only novel to win both the Newbery Medal and the Carnegie Medal.

I third The Star Beast by Robert Heinlein. Thanks for the suggestion, Ralph, it's one of Heinlein's that I have not read before.
