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.

Business as Usual
In this second story about the West 7th St. Wildcats, the group runs into some difficulty when the sixth grade class begins their big economics unit. Rivalries emerge as the group members are placed in different project groups. Which group will develop the most successful product? Can the boys maintain their friendship through this class competition? Written by David Haynes, this is a good school story for intermediate readers. It is also multicultural and set in St. Paul.
