Announcing the Annual "90-Second Newbery" Video Contest! It's curated by the NYPL's Betsy Bird and James Kennedy, the author of "The Order of Odd-Fish": jameskennedy.com/books
The challenge: make a video that compresses the story of a Newbery award-winning book into 90 seconds or less. Anyone can enter. Here is the first video: Madeleine L'Engle's 1963 Newbery winner, "A Wrinkle in Time"!
We threw a star-studded (Jon Scieszka! Rebecca Stead!) 90-Second Newbery Film Festival at the New York Public Library November 5, 2011; and at the Harold Washington branch of the Chicago Public Library on November 16, 2011.
