A recent survey of teenage reading habits has suggested that young people are opting for easier reads, rather than "more challenging classics." Should we be concerned, or simply pleased that teenagers are reading at all?

Joe and I loved the first Martha and the Bunny Brothers book, I Heart School, so I was thrilled to receive this one from the publisher for review. When I showed Joe, he said, “I got a card from her!” He did, for his birthday in January; I was so pleased he remembered.

We both loved this book just...

There were lots of posts over on my Twitter account last night, from UK fans who caught the "Cirque Du Freak" movie on ITV2.

And yet artists have always run in schools. Pa... Read more of this blog post »
