Creating a Tween Collection
Specialized collections for tweens, or middle schoolers, are relatively new and becoming increasingly popular. This Practical Guide gives librarians everything they need to create such a collection. Beginning with a brief description of the early adolescent brain and developmental stages, and a history of youth and teen services in libraries, Creating a Tween Collection provides a solid foundation on which librarians can build support for such a collection. In addition, librarians will be given specific criteria for what constitutes “tween literature,” guidelines for forming parameters that will work for their community, and suggestions for using reviews and other sources in selecting ap...
POD
A cross between The Day of the Triffids and Tomorrow When the War Began, POD is a brilliant page turner - an action thriller, featuring two memorable characters dealing in very different ways with the disaster of an alien invasion.
Zap
In Washington schrikken de 15-jarige Josh en zijn vader 's nachts wakker door enorm lawaai. Boven de stad hangt dreigend een grote groep bollen, het lijken net enorme zwarte parels. Ze flitsen - zappen - iedereen die zich op straat waagt weg. In Los Angeles schuilt de 12-jarige Megs in haar eentje in de parkeergarage van een hotel. Ze probeert te overleven door naar eten te zoeken in geparkeerde auto's. Josh en Megs kunnen zich ternauwernood in leven houden. Zullen ze het redden?

Recovery Act
A hallmark of efforts to implement the $862 billion Amer. Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is to be transparent and accountable about what the money is being spent on and what is being achieved. To help achieve these goals, recipients are to report every 3 months on their award activities and expected outcomes. This report covers 11 fed. programs focused on broadband, energy, transport., fed. bldgs., and civil works activities, representing $67 billion in ARRA funding. The report: (1) describes how the OMB and fed. agencies implemented the act to report funds' uses; and (2) assesses the extent to which descriptions of awards meet transparency criteria. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
Departure Time
Departure Time is the amazing journey of a girl in two stories. The girl in the hotel with the fox and the rat, and the girl whose father travels a lot, who suggests they write a story together, a story about talking animals. She doesn't want to. She is angry with him, because he can't make it home in time for her birthday. Again. Still, the two stories start to intertwine and come together in a surprising ending.
Sideshow of Merit
"You couldn't call Mount Rosa Hospital a good place to be in 1957, when you were fourteen. But it's where Tevan George was, and James Rowley too, 'convalescing' from tuberculosis. And it's where both boys were abused by an older boy--although neither of them did much talking about it, then or later ... Nine rocky years later, on the run together since they skipped out on a medical checkup at Mount Rosa's in 1961, Tevan and James emerge early one morning from the '55 Chevy they've been living in and come across Buddy Merit setting up his 'Ten in One' sideshow on a fairground in Ontario"--Dust jacket flap.
