This is another look at bullying- this time online. Truman School, told from a variety of very distinctive perspectives, centres around Amr and Zebby who decide to start an on-line newspaper where kids can say what they really think about Truman School. Soon it becomes a format to bring down a certain popular girl, Lilly, and Amr and Zebby are not sure they have the right to delete something when they have opened it up to entries from everyone. A fast-paced, easy read, this nonetheless has lots of food for thought and I think would be very appealing for both gals and guys. I highly recommend it.

    I Love Kids’ Books
    I have the privilege of being a teacher-librarian in 2 elementary schools. That means I have the best of all worlds; I teach and work with children from Kindergarten through grade 8; my job encompasses the management of the libraries as well as developing the collections. And my homework? Reading and more reading! What more could a life-long bookworm ask for? The point of this blog is mainly for my own use- to make myself some notes about some of the many books I read- to prompt my failing memory, to use as the basis for book-talks or newsletter inserts and to provide information for others that may be interested. These will not be formal or lengthy- but just some of my thoughts.
