I appreciate reading your review and recognize that the power to change is within each one of us. I'm interested in her journey, recognition of need/want to change and that she links much of her discovery to passion for books as well. I am NOT alone.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this review.

I'm with you and Gretchen, a big fan of kidlit and some YA (not with dark angst.) In fact, I booktalked Fat Cat by Robin Brande, a YA book, today to a group, and I plan to use it for my public brown bag luncheon next month.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-84121340087197472792010-01-20T16:37:58.383-06:002010-01-20T16:37:58.383-06:00Excellent book!

I love kidlit and Harry Potter too! So my favorite chapter was May: Be Serious About Play, in which she tells why she loves children's books (the same reasons I do!) and how she started a kidlit discussion group in her local area.Sheila Beaumonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298066921074730854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-23635527598575889102010-01-20T15:08:53.735-06:002010-01-20T15:08:53.735-06:00Clea & Kathy,
