It’s hard to believe it’s already March. With February being on the short side, March seems sneaks up on you somehow. (Though with the N’Easter that’s hit us on the East Coast, I’m not sure how you could miss it.) Aside from signaling the end of winter, and the beginning of spring (I can’t wait!), […]
Matt Brady interviews the creators of The Scrapyard Detectives at Newsarama. Produced by The Diversity Foundation, The Scrapyard Detectives is "about kids, mysteries, exploring the nature of diversity and acceptance and personal growth, which sounds kind of awful, but the creators do a better job of selling it as kids’ mysteries in the Encyclopedia Brown/Scooby […]

Directed at two different age groups, these books encapsulate the children’s/young adults’ comic book market today. Also, Rapunzel’s Revenge recently received a Cybil, an award presented by bloggers to outstanding books for kids and adolescents. Rapunzel’s Revenge Shannon, […]
It’s another short week, but it definitely not short on good titles! Sabrina Vol 2 (the Manga as it’s been called) ends it 40 issue run this week. It’s been very popular, and lot of people will be sorry to see it go. Watch for trades to add to your library! Marvel releases it’s all […]
The first time I ever read a Baby-Sitter’s Club book was during my Young Adult Literature class in library school. Sure, I’d known about the series for years, but I was already too old for them when they were first released in 1986, so I never had a reason to pick one up. I’d made […]
