Welcome to my reviews of new and current books for children and young adults. I have always been an avid reader. After teaching elementary school for ten years, I became a librarian.

My credentials for reviewing and recommending books comes from my experience on the following ALA committees:

• 2016 Newbery Award Committee for ALSC
• 2011 Sibert Award for Nonfiction for ALSC
• 2002-2006 Quick Pick for Reluctant YA Readers Committee for YALSA (2004 Committee Chair)

I hope you enjoy my reviews and I look forward to sharing literature with you.
