Yolonda's Genius by Carol Fenner

4.0

I am always trying to read not only Newbery Medal winners, but also books that were nominated. I've had this one for a year or two, and I finally got around to picking it up last night! This was a wonderful little book, exploring the ideas of what it means to be a genius and how, sometimes, we overlook those around us who are truly brilliant because they're a little bit different. Yolanda was a wonderful character who grew throughout the story, and I adored her relationship with her little brother. Kudos to Carol Fenner for this lovely story!
