What Happened on Fox Street

Never in my life have I seen such a profound case of Newbery-mongering.
Dead mother (Dicey's Song)? Check.
Friendship going through a coming-of-age struggle (When You Reach Me)? Check.
Lovable yet irritating younger sibling who gets into trouble (Kira-Kira)? Check.
A community coming together to fight The Man (Holes)? Check.
FREAKING DANGEROUS RIVER (BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA)? CHECK!!!
The book itself wasn't awful, but it honestly seemed like it tried to touch on every Newbery-loving theme in existence. Maybe this means it's the most universal book in existence, but I find that doubtful.
