Over at In the Stacks, I wrote about some of the books that Kaavya Viswanathan was accused of plagarizing. In that article, I mentioned Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings, by Megan McCafferty. Since the accusations of plagarism piqued my interest, I decided to check them out. They're set in high school in the form of Jessica Darling's journal and letters to her friend Hope. I finished the

Ann Brashares, author of the Sisterhood of Traveling Pants series, has a new book coming out this summer. It's called The Girl of Lost Things, and, although it's not specifically aimed at teens, I thought it was worth mentioning here. My favorite thing about her books is the way that her characters relate to each other, especially the female friendships, so I'm definitely looking forward to

I'm almost done with Eragon by Christopher Paolini, and I've enjoyed it so far (there were some places where I thought it was a little close to Star Wars, but I like Star Wars, so I guess that's okay). When I'm done, I'll be ready to start Eldest in preparation for the discussion of the second in the trilogy at 7:00 pm on February 23, 2006. We've got some extra copies, so if you were wanting to

"In an era before radio, television and the Internet, a great deal of political and social commentary was expressed through cartoons. They appeared in newspapers and were sold as prints in shops on street corners and by mail. These cartoons are vivid, sharp and offensive to our eyes. But, they invite us to put aside twenty-first-century assumptions and look at events through the eyes of people

By popular demand (okay, George in Archdale asked me when I was going to post it), the third in our series on getting around silly limitations on research imposed by "the man." First, we talked about the importance of using the encyclopedia. Then, we talked about how subject encyclopedias are okay to use even when you "can't use the encyclopedia."Today: how to get around the "you can only have

Last time we encouraged you to use the encyclopedia even if your teacher won't let you cite it. But there are reference books with the word "encyclopedia" in the title that you can use -- and cite -- even when you aren't supposed to "use" the encyclopedia.By telling you not to use the encyclopedia, your teacher probably means general encyclopedias such as World Book and Britannica. These provide

Librarians cringe when we hear the words, "the teacher said we can't use the encyclopedia." No doubt this rule originated with weary educators grading papers copied straight from the World Book, but we say, "use the encyclopedia."Often the encyclopedia is the very best place to start when you have a paper to write or a topic to research, even if you can't cite the encyclopedia in your report. An

My coworker Irene recently read a book that she recommended very highly. Here is her review:I hate it when people give away the plot in a book. I mean, I don't want you totell me who the Half-Blood prince is. I'd like to read it myself, thank you. So,I hope I don't give away too much of the plot of this great book I just read.The book is Bound by Donna Jo Napoli. Have you read any of her books,

If you are a fan of the Weetzie Bat series by Francesca Lia Block, you might be interested to hear about her new book, called Necklace of Kisses.

Last night, I sat down and played War of the Warcraft, an online computer game that my sister has been raging about for a couple of months now. I wanted to see if I could locate a friend of mine that I had purchased this game for as a birthday present. (With my sister's suggestion of course!) So with her help I created a character and logged onto the game for the first time. I choose to be a
