=Welcome to Plympton's Massachusetts Children's Book Award Wiki for 2013-14=

The Massachusetts Children's Book Award is a statewide contest organized by Salem State University to select the most popular children's books each year as voted by students in grades 4 to 8 in registered Massachusetts schools. Plympton School has participated for the past 2 years in this program. Books are supplied through a generous grant from our PTO. To read about the Massachusetts Book Award in detail, go here.

 * 1 vote: The Mighty Miss Malone by Christopher Paul Curtis**
 * 1 vote: Small as an Elephant by J. Jacobson**

**How this works:**
Plympton students in grades 4 and 5 are welcome to join this group. You have to read at least 5 of the books listed on the left column of this page so that you can vote for the best Massachusetts children's book in March 2014. After you read a book, go to the page, write your name on the page and leave a very short review--did you like the book? Why or why not? Who else in the group do you think might like it? We will meet twice a month at lunch time to talk about what we are reading and swap books.

Check here to see how many books you've read. Ms. Paradis is updating kids' totals monthly. You need to read 5 books and record them in this wiki to vote:
