"The word "rebel" is so overused and misused in our culture that it seems pat and tired to apply it to J.D. Salinger. Yet, I can think of few prominent contemporary arts figures who actually deserve that label as much as he did."

Are we ready for this... what is now available in our libraries??? "Once upon a time - in the 1990s- e-books for children came on CD-ROMs, and for digital wizardry, offered only mouse clicks and hidden pop-up-like animations. Not anymore. Touch-screens and app stores have given new tricks to old books, and the number of new titles is blossoming."
