My apologies--I forgot to note the schedule changes within the descriptions of the topics for July and August. Here they are correct:
July:
**First Part of Month: Everybody's Talkin': Books and Blogs. Do you frequent Fuse 8? Read Roger? Weigh in on Editorial Anonymous? Visit Worth the Trip? During the first part of July, we invite members of the CCBC-Net community to share the children?s and young adult literature-related blogs they find most insightful, informative, distinctive, or entertaining. Tell us about the children's and young adult literature blogs you make it a point to read. And tell us whether you think blogs are playing a significant role in the critical assessment and understanding of children?s and young adult literature today.
**Second Part of Month: "Minders of Make-Belive: Publishing for Children in the Twentieth Century and Beyond. Children?s literature historian Leonard S. Marcus will join us during the second half of July on CCBC-Net. His new book /Minders of Make-Believe: Idealists, Entrepreneurs, and the Shaping of American Children?s Literature/
(Houghton Mifflin, 2008) looks at the significant titles, trends, and personalities in children?s literature in the United States in the twentieth century. Our CCBC-Net discussion will focus in particular on children?s publishing in the latter half of the twentieth century?where have we been and where do you think we are going in terms of milestones and markers of change.
August:
**On Vacation: Martha the talking dog and her family are off to a seaside resort where there are ?no dogs allowed? in /Martha Calling/ by Susan Meddaugh. Another Martha?s trip to the sea marks a summer of awakenings in /Olive?s Ocean/ by Kevin Henkes. The old family farm where her father sees ?happy memories everywhere? is at first full of nothing but ?old furn/iture and dust? for the narrator of Lynne Rae Perkins? Pictures from Our Vacation. And in /The Boggart by Susan Cooper, a family?s brief trip to Scotland to sort out their inheritance leads to an unintentional?and unwanted?vacation for a mischievous creature they accidentally ship back home. During August, tells us about your favorite books for youth in which ?on vacation? is the starting point for adventure, whimsy, insight, and even lasting change in the lives of their characters.
