She's not great at playing piano, sitting still, or figuring out how to say the right thing at the right time in real life. Libby was born with Turner Syndrome, and that makes some things hard. But she has lots of people who love her, and that makes her pretty lucky. When her big sister Nonny tells her she's pregnant, Libby is thrilled - but worried. Nonny and her husband are in a financial black hole, and Libby knows that babies aren't always born healthy. So she strikes a deal with the universe: She'll enter a contest with a project about Cecelia Payne, the first person to discover what stars are made of. If she wins the grand prize and gives all that money to Nonny's family, then the baby will be perfect. Does she have what it takesto care for the sister that has always cared for her? And what will it take for the universe to notice? From debut author Sarah Allen comes this pitch-perfect, heartwarming novel about growing up, finding yourself, and loving people with everything you're Farrar, Straus and Giroux made of.

  • An Investigation Into the Opinions of Public Library Staff
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE OPINIONS OF PUBLIC LIBRARY STAFF ON HOW AND WHERE A GRAPHIC, COMIC, AND CARTOON COLLECTION SHOULD BE SHELVED A study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Librarianship at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by EMILIEBETH ARWEN CADDY September 2009 Abstract Background: In 2006, after a two year review, the Dewey Decimal Classification System [DDCS] decided that all graphic novels, cartoon strips, comic books, manga, fotonovelas, caricatures, and similar material should be stored under one classification code in the Dewey run – 741.5. Literature from before and after this date however, shows that librarians find it extremely difficult to decide where to shelve their graphic collections, and suggests that few if any choose to use the DDCS method. Aims: The study aimed to test whether the DDCS method of classifying, and by extension shelving, graphic novels etc. was adequate by gathering the opinions of librarians across the UK on how and where they currently shelve their graphic novels etc. and what they would do if they were given complete freedom. The hypothesis was that librarians would prefer a method of shelving closer to fiction practice, such as alphabetical or genre-based, to the DDCS method. Methods: The study used a form of triangulation, focusing mainly on an online questionnaire, but also using observational research and interviews. The questionnaire was distributed using snowball sampling and the data collected was analysed using simple data analysis including the creation of graphs. There were seventy respondents to the questionnaire. In addition to questions on shelving practice, respondents were also asked about their fears over content and complaints.

  • Comics Redux
    COMICS REDUX GARY WRIGHT AND Ross B. SHEPAN The University of Texas at Tyler For the past one hundred years, the American public has been entertained by the daily and the Sunday newspaper comic strips. The comics are now recognized as a legitimate and unique pop art form that chronicles the American culture. Research con- cerning reading interests and preferences provide evidence that the comics have a particular attraction to school age children. Reading research also provides evidence that comic art medium can be a viable instructional and recreational component in pub- lic and private schools' literacy curricula. The daily and Sunday comics possess a number of attributes that make them appealing to students and appropriate for instruction. Research evidence is cited that supports the accessibility, the suitability, and the read- ability of the comics' section of newspapers. This article provides a primary focus on the readability levels of 58 contem- porary comic strips and cites specific web pages where weekly comics can be viewed. Blondie and Dagwood, celebrating their irony and foreshadowing, not from great 75th anniversary in the comics, make room literary works but from the odd collection for a score of houseguests from comicdom. of characters that inhabited the funny Can anyone imagine Hagar the Horrible, pages.
