Cover art by Chantal Horeis, an artist with whom I am not familiar. I thought Rebellion 1776 might be Laurie Halse Anderson's breakthrough for at least a Newbery Honor, but it was not to be. Now it's time to read the book and see if I think it deserved a 2026 Newbery. I won't be surprised if my answer is an affirmative; Laurie Halse Anderson has long been one of my favorites.
