Congratulations to these enthusiastic young critics who shared their reading recommendations with us. Each wins a $25 gift certificate from Crow Bookshop in Burlington. We loved reading about all the entrants' literary adventures and have included some of our favorite excerpts below.
Elijah Duhamel, 5, St. Albans
recommends The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
"I liked the battling part because Gandalf blows up bad guys. This story is about peace and harmony but also war and justice."
Ludovica Palmieri, 12, Essex
recommends My Life in Pink & Green by Lisa Greenwald
"My favorite partis when the main character Lucy gets the grant and saves her family's pharmacy. I like it because it shows kids can change the world."
Creed Stilwell, 9, Lincoln
recommends Storm Runners: The Surge by Roland Smith
"Imagine being stuck in a giant circus barn with a pregnant elephant and a wild jaguar. That's what it would feel like being Chase Masters, the main character."
Elinor Simmons, 4, Bristol
recommends Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan
"I like Sarah, Plain and Tall because it helps me learn about when you have no mommy."

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.
While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.
Online comments may return when we have better tech tools for managing them. Thanks for reading.
