News: It's not too early to start talking about a great ghost story which is one where I have an important advisory part. It's Community Spirits, naturally, which you could read right now and not explode, except from fright and laughter. Also, another one already on the shelves is Nobody's Fault which maybe I mentioned before got that nice long review in School Library Journal, a place where librarians find good stuff for kids to read, is a huge big success.

   But the big news I am sneaking in here is about Mr.Joaquin Peralta's story that he ghosted for a former nameless boyfriend of mine. An Almost Private Eye that's just now received a great review in School Library Journal. It's been out since January so you could read it and Community Spirits, together.

    Mayor Burberry's sort of autobiography presents Serving Humanity in Balona. His book has just won the "Best YA Fiction" prize awarded by NORCALPA.

    You could find a good story about real rich Claire and me who is not so rich. Buds is really pretty good. Also, now that my Pales are gone, I would also feel a lot better if you will e-mail me and tell me if you like my blog which is totally honest and unprejudiced.
