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.

The Double Digit Club
The Double Digit Club is an exclusive group only for girls who have celebrated their tenth birthday, and snooty Valerie is in charge of the group. The protagonist of this story, Sarah, is afraid that she will have a very lonely summer after her best friend Paige joins the 'club', and she tries everything to prevent that from happening. It's a story about growing up, even in some unexpected ways. Written by Marion Dane Bauer, it was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2005, and would be a light quick to finish the summer with.
