I love middle grade and YA books too! I also enjoy reading biographies and memoirs.<br /><br />Of course I must plug one particular YA book that I really adore called "And the Violin Cried" by Susan Joy Clark. Susan is actually one of my best friends, and while it is a Christian-based novel, the story itself is very well written and well researched. You can find it on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Violin-Cried-Susan-Joy-Clark/dp/1424160987/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1284256272&sr=1-1.Sabrina Steylinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502908654294596013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785012510865323096.post-30091291161825042632010-09-01T10:05:53.736-04:002010-09-01T10:05:53.736-04:00Jessica --

You should be able to send me a personal email via my profile on this blog to talk more...<br /><br />Best Regards--<br />KarenKaren S.

I feel like I could have written parts of it myself, especially about having a story to share but not writing it! I just know that one day these stories in my heart will explode...I just had a baby, and the school year has just begun, so I'm definitely "too busy" at the moment to write. <br /><br />One of my goals this year is to write along with my students. Here's hoping!<br /><br />Would you be interested coming in as a guest speaker to talk to our 8th graders about the process of becoming a writer?Dairy-Free Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543335699386889784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785012510865323096.post-8174600697990969872010-08-31T21:03:01.670-04:002010-08-31T21:03:01.670-04:00You go girlsYou go girlsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785012510865323096.post-72579794891235495102010-08-31T13:49:28.175-04:002010-08-31T13:49:28.175-04:00I gulped it all down -- like a big bowl of chocola...I gulped it all down -- like a big bowl of chocolate ice cream on a hot day! -- this weekend.
