Bookish Banter: An Introduction

 

Welcome, fellow bookworms, literary enthusiasts, and avid page-turners! Prepare to embark on a journey through the realm of words, where ink dances, and stories come alive. I’ve been playing with a question you might be wondering, as well: Why should I bother with another book blog in the vast literary galaxy? Well, perhaps this will not be like every other book blog. 


Some hopes of this blog are to provide a literary sanctuary for our kindred literary spirits where literature and wit intertwine to create a tapestry of literary revelry. But, wait, there’s more! This blog will be a platform for book reviews and recommendations. This blog will be a virtual gathering to dissect the nuances of prose, unravel the mysteries of plot twists, delve into character development (or lack thereof), and unleash an endless arsenal of wit.  


Whether you’re a voracious reader, an aspiring writer, or simply seeking refuge from the mundane world, let this blog, published every Sunday, be your literary sanctuary. This reading odyssey will bring to you up and coming books with a focus on children’s fiction, comics, graphic novels, and YA. Anything goes, as everyone's reading journey is a remarkable adventure through the pages of books. And, it doesn’t stop there. 


On the final Sunday of each month, you will find yourself experiencing an extraordinary twist of fate as I, the esteemed principal of an elementary school, will take on the role of reader and enter the realm of literature and principal as literacy leader. Even principals need a break from endless paperwork, bell-ringing chaos, and food on the floor of the cafeteria. 


Together, we will traverse genres – from spine-tingling mysteries to whimsical fantasies, from thought-provoking literary fiction to unabashed guilty pleasures. As a reader-turned-principal, my passion for literature knows no boundaries. You may even experience some adventures of Marshmallow (this is your cliffhanger …)! 


Welcome to the extraordinary universe of books and the enchanting world of this book blog.

Middle Grade Mondays: A Weekly Adventure in Books

Lovers of middle grade books know their transformative power.  Geared toward readers ages 8-12, middle grade stories create a bridge for readers between early chapter books and young adult novels (for more about differences between the types of books, read this Writer’s Digest article).  While the age range does not equate to the age of middle schoolers, the purposes behind middle grade books and what middle school students might learn are often the same: encourage empathy, boost literacy skills, and foster critical thinking.  Recent Middle School Gems to Explore At the 2024 National Council of Teachers of English annual convention, the award committee of the Charlotte Huck Award for Outstanding Fiction for Children named a winner, five honor books, and eight recommended books. What follows are three middle grade Honor books. ( Link HERE for the complete list of winners ).  Middle Grade Honor Books This novel-in-verse fosters empathy by addressing topics of poverty,...

Middle Grade Monday: Nonfiction, Invigorating, Interactive, Gritty

Suggestions for middle grade teaching tips like Blackout Poetry, an Escape Room, and much more I don’t write enough about nonfiction, especially for upper elementary and middle grade readers. At NCTE’s 2024 convention – Heart, Hope, & Humanity – I had the great fortune to listen to authors and educators share great books and teaching tips around three nonfiction books.  Why Longform Nonfiction?  Excellent middle grade nonfiction acts in certain ways for readers. It invigorates readers, it provides interactive opportunities for students, and it’s often personal and gritty for readers of all ages.  When the writing is really good, it gets to the point quickly, which is something young readers can engage with immediately. The great books are invitations into other worlds and the topics get kids excited about concepts and reading.  What follows are three books for any reader interested in courageous nonfiction that offers tons of information. Educators: read to the e...

Middle Grade Monday: Intersection of Art & Identity

If you have a story to share, then share it.  Three authors – Jonell Joshua, Huda Fahmy, and Sarah Myer – have done just that. They had the opportunity to share about the writing process and craft during their presentation at the 2024 National Council of Teachers of English ( NCTE ) annual convention in Boston this November.  Me with Sarah Myer at NCTE, 2024 While the texts in this post are written for older middle grade and young adult audiences, the teaching tips can be adapted and used by all secondary teachers.  The speakers shared that queer authors and authors of color teach us about craft and writing process, not just about reluctant readers or book bans. What follows is a summary of their books with a link to their websites.    How Do I Draw These Memories? by Jonell Joshua ~ Levine Querido Jonell Joshua spent her childhood traveling between Savannah and New Jersey – living in grandparents’ homes during the times her mother, struggling with mental illne...
