The John Newbery Medal is a literary award given to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Recently, Newbery winner and sci-fi/fantasy superstar-author Neil Gaiman shared with The Horn Book his favorite Newbery book of all time.
That’s a hard one. I know the leading candidates—The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle, A Wrinkle in Time, The High King, and From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. All books I loved as a child, and read, and re-read. I think it has to be A Wrinkle in Time (1963), because it did weird things to the inside of my head. I do not think I saw the universe in the same way after reading it.
