Newbery Honor. Sad, sad, sad. Why do all Newbery Honor books have to be sad? An African American family lives in an apartment building. The mother works hard and doesn’t make much money. The dad is always getting and losing jobs. The boy is handicapped and doesn’t go to school. Next door is the jazz man who plays beautiful music, music that gives everyone renewed strength and hope.
