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.

Lake Street U.S.A.
During the 1990's, Minnesota-born photographer Wing Young Huie took hundreds of pictures along Lake Street in Minneapolis. During this era, neighborhoods along Lake Street were transformed into a multicultural brew of ethnicities. This book is a compilation of 500 of the photos that were used in a large exhibition along Lake Street in 2000. Intended for an adult audience; high school students studying photography as art or sociology will find this an interesting book to browse or pour over as the photos capture their imagination. It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in the Nature/Minnesota category in 2002.
