We wrote "Arlene on the Scene" to help find a cure for Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, which affects both Marybeth and her daughter, Grace.

It’s here, our REVISED Teacher’s Guide! Many teachers have found our Teacher’s Guide helpful to incorporateArlene On the Scene into their language arts curriculum, from grades three to five.

Arlene, The Rebel Queen by Carol Liu
" Firstly, I won this book through Goodreads.

I love children's literature. "Arlene, The Rebel Queen" was exceptionally well written and delivers several underlying messages to kids. Firstly, people with disabilities require empathy not pity. Secondl... " Read more of this review »

Yup, this is one that drew me in, as in read it every chance I got and finished in a couple of days. Love these kinds of books! It's just a good read, good characters, very New York, very 1980's. All you forty-somethings who were either at CBGB's or...more

Not as interesting as I thought it would be at first. Went a bit downhill toward the end.

The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
I abandoned it, so probably shouldn't give it a review or put it on the "read" shelf, but like some others, I wasn't drawn to the characters or story. Nothing pulled me to the book each night. Perhaps the style and I just don't mix. It was heavy on d...more
