It may be too hard to find books that aren't too preachy and I think some people maay find certain books preachy, but others would disagree.MissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-17347561281995587362009-08-25T20:57:06.996-04:002009-08-25T20:57:06.996-04:00I want to second Ari requests for books on Anti-bu...I want to second Ari requests for books on Anti-bullying. Our school is looking for a book that would appeal to both boys and girls and could be read to/by 6th graders. <br /><br />I have the Matt De La Pena book and will try to get to that soon. I will be adding So Not The Drama to my list too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15682700901945724953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-59519174131620706012009-08-25T18:49:43.393-04:002009-08-25T18:49:43.393-04:00I forget the Drama High series, thanks Edi

It looks like a lot of fun.<br /><br />Love the cover for Girls Stay in the Picture but the book the book didn't do it for me. Still included it because this list is about giving people choices. <br /><br />I am seeing a few request self esteem, bullying, taboo topics, which I believe can all work together. <br /><br />And periods in history. <br /><br />My mind is already working.

There's a fine line, but I'd like to see books hailed as portraying tough topics such as sexual activity without moralizing. Off the top, Coe both's Kendra handles the MC's sexual encounter with brutal frankness. She neither celebrates it or judges it. There are other books that do the same, I'm sure.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16995262723350443110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-72820738858121335522009-08-25T08:33:24.437-04:002009-08-25T08:33:24.437-04:00Love your recommendations! thanks for posting :)

I never finished Girl Stays in the Picture. Did you read it? If so did you like it?<br /> All the other books are now on my wishlist! Especially SkunkGirl, Temptress Four and I keep seeing Who's Your Daddy? So I may try that one too :)<br /> The DIVAS series by Victoria Christopher Murray is a good friendship series.<br /> Maybe next week you could talk about self-esteem, bullying, or a certain period in history. I'm not sure, anything you come up with will be great and informative!MissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-69256622014940748832009-08-24T21:13:19.949-04:002009-08-24T21:13:19.949-04:00Hi Julia,
