Still a Classic and Unforgettable Tale!
+ White Rabbit
+ Who cares if it's a hoax!?!
Go Ask Alice was one of those novels that I grew up with remembering quite clearly. As a child who loved to read, Go Ask Alice was one of the best pre-teen novels of my generation. Of course, it's been 20 years since I last picked up the book but I still remember it as it was yesterday. A young ...

Ralph Ellison
Vintage, 1995
Quiet Rage Turned into High Art
+ The Search for Human Identity
+ Speaks Truth to Power!
This novel, a model of creative writing, describes what it is like to land in a big city and then be sucked up into the black hole of urban life in America.

Lois Lowry

The Ideal home changes
Identified as the "Companion": to Newbery-winning "The Giver" and "Gathering Blue", I picked up Messenger with high expectations. The other two were terrific, stunning in their own ways. I wasn't disappointed. Lowry's created world in which the three villages of the three stories exist is clever ...
