I have a bit of advice for any potential author who is planning on entering our Grade 5/6 Writing Contest this year. Do your research! The theme this year is animals, tame or wild. Whether you intend to write about your pet lizard or about a fictitious creature of your imagination who flies on wings of velvet - do the work, create the picture in our minds, make it real.
, the popular author of The Guardians of Ga'Hoole series has graciously agreed to be one of the judges for the writing contest, and I have just finished the advance reader's copy of her upcoming novel Hawksmaid. She has done a very thorough and well researched job with this novel and her attention to detail is marvelous.

Friendship is a common thread running through many stories for young children. As they begin to develop an awareness of others, children also notice their similarities and their differences to each other. As a bookseller I have heard young people ask questions in honest and sometimes surprisingly interesting ways while playing here in the Hundred Acre Wood! Categories: Reviews
