Below you will find two books for the taking. If you are interested in one, send me an email (scopenotes@gmail.com) before midnight tonight. […]

Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley By Aaron Blabey Front Street ISBN: 9781590785966 $16.95 Grades K-2 In Stores *Best New Books* There are plenty of children’s books based on friendship.

Things changed Tuesday when Ain’t It Cool News posted their interview with the film’s director, Spike Jonze. Apparently, the film is back on track. That whole “scrapping the project” […]
