The Library Zone
I have read most of Missouri's Mark Twain Award nominees for a while now, and for the past few years I decided to record some thoughts onto our website. Most of the books below are nominees for this state award, but some others are sprinkled in for good measure. I know I don't always agree with the critics, librarians, other teachers, or students - I have my own preferences of genres and writing styles - but I try to keep an open mind when I pick up a new book (It shocks me that there are so many of these that feature cats!). Take that into consideration when reading my short "reviews" at these links, but if you're totally overwhelmed, check out the ones with the stars (*): those are the ones I recommend the most.
