David Gill and C.J. Bott of ALAN (the Assembly on Literature for Adolescents) are starting an online young adult book group on the ALAN website.
Here is the plan. Each month on the third Wednesday at 9:00PM/EST (to accommodate all the time zones), they will have a discussion on a previously selected YA book. People would sign on to the ALAN website (_www.alan-ya.org/_
(http://www.alan-ya.org/) ) and then follow the path to the Book Chat. And then on the following Wednesday night, the fourth of the month, there will most likely be an interview with the author of the "chatted" book.
The book up for discussion on February 21 at 9:00 PM/EST is SANDPIPER (2005) by Ellen Wittlinger. Ellen has agreed to be interviewed on the following Wednesday, February 28 at the same time.
We hope you can join us, and feel free to spread the word.
By the way, David Klass's FIRESTORM has been arranged for March!
There's going to be a great line-up of YA books and authors! The more people who can join in the discussion, the better.
If anyone has any questions, you can direct them to C. J. Bott at
_Bottcj at aol.com_ (mailto:Bottcj at aol.com) .
Thanks,
Catherine
