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.

A Very Brave Witch
In a spooky house on the far edge of town lives a brave little witch. She has heard about the human holiday, Halloween, but she has never seen it for herself. This year will be different as she hops on her broom to see what all the excitement is about. When her broom crashes, she becomes friends with a human 'witch'. Now, who's the bravest witch? Written by Alison McGhee, with delightful illustrations by Harry Bliss (don't overlook the endpapers), it's a fun Halloween story for young readers.
