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.

Pa Lia's First Day
Pa Lia Vang is off to school for the first day of second grade. It's pretty scary because she is starting at a new school, Jackson Magnet School. Her big brother drops her at the front door, but with help from a girl named Calliope she finds her classroom, begins to find more friends, and event gets into a little trouble with her teacher. Written by Michele Edwards, and the first of the Jackson Friends series, this is a good story for early chapter book readers.
