I would love to read more YA books. I just finished Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer---I read them both in 2 days---I haven't been that involved with books in a long time. Of course the 8th grade girls who are readers have been in linewaiting to read them both---I think high school readers and 8th grade readers walk away with different understandings of this book.

I'm finishing up a week of spring break and I have devoted some time to reading some different pieces--Neil Shusterman's book Downsiders, Ben mickelson's Sparrow Hawk Red and Lawrence Yep's Angelfish. all were fascinating studies--very different from each other--and different from the the author's "famous" works. Good stuff-- Mary Anne ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
