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.

Arnie and the Skateboard Gang
When Arnie gets a new skateboard for his birthday, he can't wait to visit the park where all the cool skateboarders hang out. It's fun until one of the boldest boarders challenges everyone to ride down the biggest (and most dangerous) hill around. Arnie must decide how far he is willing to go to be cool. Written and illustrated by Nancy Carlson, this has a good message about courage.
