How will ’08 be the best one yet? Author interviews a comin’. Book giveaways aplenty. Highly opinionated/borderline confusing reviews of the latest in […]

What’s not to love about ARCs? The acronym is enough to get any book or librarian type excited: Advance = I’m getting to read something that most people have never seen. Reader = Yes, I am an enjoyer of the printed word. Copy = I get a copy. Alright. Inspired by the wonderful children’s lit […]
When Randolph Turned Rotten By Charise Mericle Harper Alfred A. Knopf ISBN 9780375840715 $16.99 Grades K-2 In Stores *Recommended* A book about feelings, well done, is a goldmine for teachers, parents, and students. In my opinion, here’s what “well done” means: The story stands on its own, and the lesson isn’t forced. If things are […]
Venom By Marilyn Singer Darby Creek Publishing ISBN 9781581960433 $19.95 Grades 5-8 In Stores *Recommended* I can see the pitch for this book now… (Author walks into a room.

Format, format, format – it’s never perfect. 100 Scope Notes is an evolving source of all things kidlit related, and I wanted to let you know that some evolving just happened. Allow me to direct your attention to the left of the screen. If you’re reading this in a RSS reader, just pull a Cam […]
Part 4: Graphic Novels I’ve said it before: I love lists. I think that it’s an inherent trait librarians posses. I love lists so much (especially those of the “year-end”, “best-of” persuasion) that I decided to make a book-related master list to sum up 2007. Call it “Kidlit’s Greatest Hits”, call it “Now This is […]
Part 3: Middle Grade Fiction The 100 Scope Notes roundup continues today with a look back at middle grade fiction. In case you missed the recap of fiction and non-fiction picture books, let me explain. I’ve taken every year-end list I could find (see below), threw them in my children’s lit blender, and hit “frappé”. […]
