    Whoa, I totally missed your note. I did read Chanda's Secrets but long before Shelfari. But I have Chanda's War on my shelf. I think the author has some background in Africa, can't remember what. The books read authentically to me at least.

    Thanks for pointing out Dewey. They've made so many changes I haven't been paying much attention. Just trying to get all my old book journal titles transferred in!

    Do you know of "Kami and the Yaks" by Andrea Stenn Stryer? I first heard about it today at the Newbery/Caldecott announcements. It won the Schneider Family Book Award.

    Born to Rock: There are some implied scenes of rock-tour-on-the-road life if you know what I mean, but the hero is clean. In fact, he gets fed up by the whole scene. Other: adult immaturity, a skeezy manager, and the hero falls in love with his longtime female friend (and spends time alone with her). Nothing graphic, all implied. Your call!

    I recently noticed the profiles are saying "0 books, 0 friends, 0 groups, etc." Odd!

    Hi there, thanks for becoming my friend. I like the books on your list. I haven't got very many yet, because I add them as I read them. Bye for now, Judith

    Just finished "Part-Time Indian" and loved it! So fresh and funny. I posted a review. What did you think of it?
