Young adult resources : : comments and reviews. Friday, December 29, 2006. Fox, Paula. (1973). The slave dancer. New York: Dell Publishing. Jessie is a young boy who lives in New Orleans in the mid 1800s. His family is poor, and Jessie makes a bit of money playing his fife in the streets. One day when Jessie is wandering around the city, he is kidnapped by sailors and forced to work on the boat. Is a good introduction to this historical period, and to some of the feelings towards slavery at the time.

Young adult resources : : comments and reviews. Monday, April 2, 2007. Louisiana Hurricane, 1860. Duey, Kathleen. (2000). Louisiana hurricane 1860. New York: Pocket Books. There was lots of talk about the imminent civil war, yet the book ends before the war starts. This leaves too many questions about how the characters' lives are going to change. I guess the concept is interesting, but perhaps a bit morbid. I prefer modern teen chick lit to this historical romance. Since there was hardly any fli...View ...

Young adult resources : : comments and reviews. Saturday, March 31, 2007. FutureSex / LoveSounds (CD). Timberlake, Justin. (2006). Futuresex/lovesounds [sound recording]. Jive Records: distributed by Sony BMG Music (Canada). It's really hard to judge what music can be classified as "Young Adult." Teens listen to all types of music, and not much of it is targeted specifically towards them. I hope Justin wasn't targeting teens on this album! Well, I have to admit that I've always been a JT fan, so I greatl...

Young adult resources : : comments and reviews. Monday, April 2, 2007. Teen Space (Hastings District Libraries, New Zealand). Teen Space." Accessed April 2, 2007, from http:/ www.hastingsdc.govt.nz/libraries/teenmenu.htm. I can't see teens using this web site very often. The parent web site has much more information available and is easier to navigate. If the Hastings District Libraries added some more content, they could definitely improve the teen web site. It has some potential!

Young adult resources : : comments and reviews. Tuesday, March 6, 2007. CosmoGirl. (2006, June/July). New York: Hearst Communications. Celebrities, swimsuits, fashion, etc. There's also a companion website, where the first thing I noticed was a poll asking whether you drink more alcohol during the summer or the school year. This seems a bit irresponsible, seeing that the legal drinking age in the US is 21, an age past girlhood! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). FutureSex / LoveSounds (CD).

Accessed March 23, 2007, from http:/ www.stratford.library.on.ca/teens/lounge.asp. At first glance, this website looks appealing. The main page has nice colors if you ignore the red and blue amateur-looking boxes on the right of the screen. The main headings all are useful for teens, but the order of the headings seems pretty random. Links also contained some good information. Most ...

Young Adult Library: March 2007
http://youngadultlibrary.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Fletcher, A. (Director). Format: Video, Movie. Genre: Drama, Music, Dance. And dramatic, frolicking romance ensues. I swear. It does indeed ensue. Complete with loads and loads of dancing. Although, somewhat enjoyable, in that "oh God, it hurts" kind of way. A movie for the S&M freak in all of us! But, really. what you want to hear is the real dirt! How Jamie Saw It. In a toss up for worst movie in the entire universe, it’s a neck-in-neck race between Step Up. It’s the ag...

Tuesday, April 3, 2007. The Zone: Teens @ Burlington Public Library. Http:/ www.bpl.on.ca/bplteens/thezone.htm. From the Burlington Public Library in Ontario is a very informative, clean, and semi-cool teen library site. Great links to relevant and reputable sites, The Zone. Offers teens an opportunity to see what's new, to get homework help, check. Although perhaps not the prettiest teen library site, The Zone. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
