Author Highlight: Lauren Myracle
Read more: Author Highlight: Lauren MyracleThe 70s and 80s brought us Judy Blume who gave the kids stories they needed and wanted to read about their lives, their fears, and questions about themselves.

Book of the Month: Lessons in Chemistry
Read more: Book of the Month: Lessons in ChemistryDon’t let that gorgeous hair and sassy look fool you, Elizabeth Zott takes chemistry and cooking seriously. In fact, she takes everything seriously.
