Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.

Lawn Boy
Watch out Eden Prairie! Lawn Boy is here and he's in your neighborhood! This comedic tale from Gary Paulsen is about a twelve year old boy and his summer lawn mowing job that turns into a slapstick lesson in business, the stock market, supply and demand, and prize fighting for good measure! A fast, funny read for summer, or anytime.
