I'm well, working offline on a new young adult novel set in Japan, inspired by my sabbatical there. I did not know that the title came from a Theodore Roosevelt - very cool! <br /><br />Margy, yes, as much as I enjoyed Nancy Drew as a kid, I'm envious of all the YA that is available for teens now.<br /><br />troutbirder, thanks for speaking out against sexist books! Rest assured that this novel confront sexism in the best way.<br /><br />Barrie, I love scenes about interesting food, but there were too many scenes where the MC complained about boring unhealthy food like white bread and bologna instead of yogurt for snacks. One scene would have been enough. This book had more detail than necessary.

However this bring up a bad memory. I once taught psychology to h.s. senior and visit our elementary library to find some good bad stereo typing . Well the first book I picked our and whose name and author I've forgotten was somebody and somebody Go To Bat. The were identical twins. A boy and a girl. One day he got sick and his twin dressed up for ball and took his place at the game. Nobody knew the difference and, of course, she hit the winning home run. Naturally he got better and revealed his sisters accomplishment. On the last she was reward by getting to go all the games and got to be the "bat" girl who got to bring bats and water to her "teammates...:<br />Though I did manages to get that book "censored out of the library" though usually I wasn't in favor of that process and their were other like it :(troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-90101093450296117972017-12-06T19:37:10.158-05:002017-12-06T19:37:10.158-05:00When I was young I don't remember having too m...When I was young I don't remember having too many YA books other than Nancy Drew.
