Alexie won the $15,000 award for War Dances, a collection of short stories about ordinary people on the brink of change, interspersed with poems. From the story of a famous author whose father is dying a "natural Indian death" from alcohol and diabetes, to the tale of a young boy writing for his local newspaper's obituaries pages, judge Al Young - California's poet laureate - called it a "rollicking, bittersweet gem of a book".

One of the richest resources on YouTube is an extraordinary channel named SpokenVerse. It offers 466 readings of great poems in English, from Shakespeare to today. Their reader is a pleasure to listen to. He makes no effort to "perform," but simply and clearly respects the poetry, with understated emotion when necessary. (Roger Ebert)

I've talked to some elementary librarians who are a reluctant to order many graphic novels because they're afraid there aren't any good ones for our younger students. Another issue is whether or not graphic novels are important or useful for our students' literacy development. I'm going to tackle both of these issues here.

We recently purchased a graphic novel series called BabyMouse. We can't keep it on the shelf. Boys and girls in grade 2 read it as well as girls in grade 5. They haven't been read by anyone else because the students just rotate them through their class. All the art is done in pink white and black. I think its a good example of a graphic novel good for younger students.

"12 Books in 120 Seconds," the first in a series of three panic-stricken videos leading up to THE END. Narrated by the infamous Tim Curry and with music by the Gothic Archies, it threatens to expose you to everything the Baudelaire orphans have suffered so far, in less time than it takes to brush one's teeth

Love it! There are so many great student created "movie trailers" that students have created for novels on Youtube. This is a great spin on that idea.

We have the City of Gold series in our library but sent on the Tithe series to Jen at NBCHS. I read both of those series and felt the second one was better at a high school. Has anyone seen the graphic novel based on Twilight?
