3. 2011 Newberry Award Winner T Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool was written telling two stories from the same town in two different time periods. It contained newspaper articles and advertisements, as well as the storytellings of the diviner, Miss Sadie. I thought it was interesting how the two stories came together when Abilene found the secret box of mementos and later met Miss Sadie. Miss Sadie, although telling her own story, was telling the story of Abilene’s father and his past, a story Abilene so desperately wanted to know. As Sadie was telling her stories, drawing Abilene back each day, I was drawn back daily, hoping that Jinx and Gideon were one in the same. Changing font for the telling of the stories in the past created a good transition as well, thus the reader could easily differentiate the past from the present. Once the two stories came together, it was truly wonderful. Moon Over Manifest Book Trailer
