For fourth, fifth, and sixth graders looking for good books to read over the summer we recommend trying a book on the 2010-2011 Great Stone Face Award list.  The Great Stone Face Award is given each year by New Hampshire Children’s Librarians to an author whose book receives the most votes by 4th-6th grade students. The winner for 2009-2010 is Gordon Korman’s Swindle. An unscrupulous baseball card collector swindles 6th grader Griffin Bing out of a valuable card, so Griffin assembles a group of unlikely misfits to steal the card back. Swindle and the nominees for 2010-2011 can be found in the library’s children’s room.
