1) OCTOBER, 1999: "Evaluating Children's and Young Adult Books by and about American Indians"
We'll discuss three books for young readers: 1) "The Birchbark House" by Louise Erdrich (Hyperion 1999); 2) "Bowman's Store" by Joseph Bruchac (Dial, 1997); and 3) "Heart of a Chief" by Joseph Bruchac
(Dial ,1998). "Bowman's Store" is, sadly, out of print but we hope you'll be able to track down a copy of this excellent autobiography through your local library.
Debbie Reese has suggested two resource books about the October topic. They are: 1) American Indian Stereotypes in the World of Children: A Reader and Bibliography by Arlene Hirschfelder, Paulette Fairbanks Molin, and Yvonne Wakim (2nd edition, Scarecrow Press, 1999); and 2) Through Indian Eyes:The Native Experience in Books for Children by Beverly Slapin and Doris Seale (Santee/Cree), eds. (2nd edition, UCLA Amer Indian Studies Center, 1998) available from Oyate
(http://www.oyate.org)
The October discussion will be moderated by Professor Eliza T. Dresang of Florida State University, where she teaches a class in multicultural literature Eliza is the author of "Radical Change: Books for Youth in a Digital Age" (H.W. Wilson, 1999).
2) NOVEMBER, 1999: "Pottermania!" With the U.S publication in September by Arthur Levine Books of Scholastic Press of the third volume in the series by J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter phenomenon continues to grow. This month we'll discuss the first three volumes:
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone; Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." And we'll discuss the phenomenon.
3) December, 1999: "Your Favorites of 1999" This is a popular annual CCBC-Net discussion during which people tell about their favorite books published during this current year. Start making your lists. There's room and time for everyone who wants to "step up to the CCBC-Net mike" and tell why you or the children or teenagers you know especially enjoy or admire a particular "new" book.
