What's good, what's trash, what's going to hold their interest? Nancy Pearl, America's favorite librarian, has read widely in all the genres and happily points the way in <i>Book Crush.</i> Divided into three sections; Easy Books, Middle-Grade Readers, and Young Adult; <i>Book Crush</i> makes wonderful reading connections by theme, setting, voice, and ideas. For horse lovers, Pearl recalls the classics (<i>Black Beauty, Misty of Chincoteague</i>), but in a creative twist connects <i>Mr. Revere and I</i> to the list. For middle-grade readers, she explores updated retellings of Greek myths and the best coming-of-age stories. Young adult readers get to know chick lit and much more. For those adults who feel stuck in a rut with Caldecott and Newberry winners and the ubiquitous <i>Harry Potters,</i> this fun, informed book offers new ways to stimulate young readers.</div> 2375350 7 3 2007 Book Crush: For Kids and Teens-Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment and Interest total:202|5:4|4:1|3:4|2:0|1:0| 202 822 358 39 3 1 false false Sun Nov 09 15:29:40 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 22:03:35 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Mar 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 22:52:39 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 23:03:43 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 19:38:14 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 19:49:11 -0700 2009
