Here are the CCBC-Net discussion topics for October.
We would also love to hear your ideas for future discussion topics (thanks to Marc Aronson, who's already shared a couple). Please contact me directly (schliesman_at_education.wisc.edu) if you have thoughts about what you'd like to see up for discussion on CCBC-Net in the future.
October discussion topics:
First Half of the Month: More Scary Stories. Back in October 2005, our CCBC-Net topic was Scary Stories. We'll revisit the subject the first half of October with a twist.In addition to discussing some of your favorite books for children* in which the intent was to create a frisson of fear in the reader, we invite you to share books in which you---or
readers---found elements or scenes that were surprisingly or
unexpectedly scary. For ease of following the discussion, please label your subject line if it will follow one particular strand, e.g., : More Scary Stories vs. Unexpectedly Scary (Disturbing, Upsetting, etc.)
*we'll look at young adult literature the second half of the month---see
below
Second Half of the Month: The Suspense Is Killing Me . . . Tim Wynne-Jones's new novel /Blink & Caution /(Candlewick Press, 2011) has us thinking about books for young adults that appeal to readers who like tense plots or frightening story elements. From thrillers to suspense to horror, we'll spend the second half of October discussing young adult books that go bump (or bang) in the night.
