Greetings!
This week I will send out some titles of books that boys tend to like. It’s funny that girls will usually read most kinds of books, but boys will almost never pick up a book about a girl.
Roland Smith is an author that lives in the Portland, OR area and his books appeal to boys and girls. Tentacles, Peak, the Storm Runner series, Jack’s Run, and Zach’s Lie are a few of the books he has written. I have not found any language problem in his books and they are exciting stories. He also has one book called Legwork that is only available for the Kindle. It is a bit shorter than his other books, but is also a great read.
Carl Hiaasen has written a number of books all with one-word titles. Hoot, Flush,and Scat are three that boys and girls like.
Will Hobbs is a wonderful source for historical fiction and adventure. Crossing the Wire, Far North, Jason’s Gold, Take Me to the River, River Thunder and Leaving Protection are just some of his books that boys will enjoy.
If your boys like reading about war, here are two SDA stories that they might like. The Seventh Escape by Jan Doward and Flee the Captor by Herbert Ford. Both of these books are higher level reading and would be good through high school.
Farley Mowat writes great stories, some for young people and others that are really more appropriate for adults. Owls in the Family (one of my favorites), The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be, and Lost in the Barrens are all great choices for boys.
As a child I read North to Freedom by Anne Holm and was frightened by it. It was my first introduction to war and prison camps. I reread it again as an adult and was not bothered by it like I had been years ago. The book has been republished with the title I Am David. You may be able to find it with either title.
Don’t forget Swift Arrow by Josephine Cunnington Edwards or Spotted Boy and the Comanches by Mabel Earp Cason. Both of these books are about boys who were captured by Indians and both can be found in the ABC bookstore.
If you have some geeky boys who like experiments, look for The Mad Scientists’ Club, The New Adventures of the Mad Scientist’s Club, The Big Kerplop!, and The Big Chunk of Ice: The Last Known Adventure of the Mad Scientists’ Club. These books were originally published in the early 1960’s and the science stuff is kind of low tech for today, but these stories are great fun to read. They can be found through Amazon.com, your local bookstore can order them for you, or you may find them at an online used bookstore.
So I have given you nearly thirty titles of books that boys like. I’m sure lots of you have other ideas, too. If you have ideas to share, I’ll compile them and send it out to everyone.
Thanks to you who help with this project. Get your boys involved, too. Ask them what titles they think other boys would enjoy. You might want to talk to them about what kind of books are appropriate for SDA schools and enlist their help in compiling titles for boys in grades 4 – 8 or above.
Have a great week.

Kindles
Greetings!
This week I am thrilled to tell you that I am, I mean Rogers Adventist School is the proud owner of 12 new Kindle Fire devices. Here’s what I did to make this happen.
I applied for the Don R. Keele grant. If you don’t happen to be in the NPUC, you may not be aware of this award. It is a grant that supports innovation in the classroom or school. I thought that having e-readers would be interesting and fun and would be another tool to motivate reading. I filled out the grant application and then presented it to our school board for approval.
I won an award of $3000.00 from the Keele Foundation and another $1000.00 from the NPUC to support my work as the Resource Librarian for the NPUC. Of course I was thrilled!
I chose Kindles because I am already very familiar with Amazon.com and own two Kindles of my own. I wanted to have the “read to me” feature and only two of the devices have that feature – the Kindle Keyboard and the Kindle Fire. Both of these options were priced similarly so I decided to go with the Fire because it has color and the picture books on the devices would look beautiful. I also looked to the future and thought that it might be important at some point to have them used in the classrooms as a computer.
In my research I found that Amazon.com has made provision for schools to connect multiple devices to one account that can be controlled by one administrator. This was important to me since we don’t want students to be downloading items to the Kindles on their own. I have all of them registered through WhisperCAST. It can be confusing because Amazon also has WhisperNET and WhisperSYNC. (The capitals are mine.) I called Amazon and got tech support throughout the process of registering. They can also help you decide which Kindle to choose.
I opted to pay the extra money to get Kindles without ads. I figured that our students are bombarded every day with advertisements and this would be one place that was ad-free. My school board members agreed with me on that. I also purchased chargers, an extra sturdy Otter Box case rather than the leather one, and the two year warranty. So each Kindle cost in the neighborhood of $315.00 with everything included. I have also put about 30 books on them, a number of which were free. I’m glad I had library funds to help with book purchases because I did go over my $4000.00 grant.
We will be using the Kindles for student check-out. (I will admit that I woke up in the middle of the night worrying about that and wondering if I would actually be able to let a kid take one of my expensive toys!) I have also talked to teachers and let them know that if they want to use them in the classroom, they need to reserve them well ahead of time. I will be taking them around next week to each classroom and sharing them with the students and talking about how to use them and care for them.
If you are interested in more information, I will be happy to share my experience.
Have a great week.

Books for Older Readers
Greetings!
This week I’m going to give you some ideas of titles that are appropriate for older students. I will define ‘older’ as 7th and 8th grades or higher. I’ll also try to remember to indicate which ones that boys might enjoy.
I teach a group of junior high students, boys and girls, and this year we have been studying two books by Terri Fivash. Dahveed and Ruth and Boaz. Both books are written for adults, kids like the stories, and they aren’t babyish. I insist that students read the material at the beginning of the books since the cultural notes really help in the understanding of the historical time period. These books and more by Terri can be found in your ABC bookstore. Be warned! If you purchase the first book of Dahveed, you might as well just get all that are in publication. I promise that you will be bugged for them until you do.
Hurt Go Happy by Ginny Rorby is the story of a chimpanzee who communicates through sign language and a deaf girl who hasn’t been allowed to learn sign language. This novel was inspired by the true story of a chimpanzee who was raised as a human child.
From Baghdad, With Love by Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman with Melinda Roth is the story of a Marine stationed in Iraq and a puppy named Lava. This book was donated by a parent who read it and decided that it would be a great book for our library.
Jennie Hodgers put on boys’ clothes because she had to help earn money for the family in Ireland during the 1860s by becoming a shepherd. Once she discovers the freedom she can have as a boy, she decides to continue the charade when she emigrates to America. She even enlists to serve in the Civil War. My Last Skirt by Lynda Durrant is the real life story of Jennie Hodgers aka Private Albert Cashier lives as a man until she is discovered fifty years later.
Rachel’s Tears by Beth Nimmo and Darrell Scott is the story of the Columbine shooting and the people who were part of the drama. Rachel Scott’s story of standing for her Christian beliefs is told through the writings and drawings in her journal. This book was used in our junior high to supplement a presentation, but is really more appropriate for high school.
Kay Kuzma and Brenda Walsh have written stories of survival from Hurricane Katrina called Between Hell and High Water. The stories in here are miraculous and wonderful. The book is published by Pacific Press and is a 3ABN book. There is also an audio book version. (Please consider adding a few audio books to your library. We process them like a book and put them on the shelf beside the print copy of the book.) (Funny note: some younger children have come to me and told me very seriously that there is a book in the library that is not appropriate for Rogers. It has the word “HELL” on it!)
Ann Jaramillo has written a moving novel of fifteen-year-old Miguel who decided to migrate to California across the border. He knew it was very risky, but he also had confidence that he could make it even through there were many who did not. What he didn’t count on was his younger sister, Elena coming along. Boys and girls both will enjoy La Linea. Look for many Spanish words and phrases in the text of the book.
It’s the Civil War. Two families related to each other. One family sympathizes with the South and one to the North. But this book is about two girls instead of boys. Two Girls of Gettysburg by Lisa Klein is a historical novel about the Civil War, the Battle of Gettysburg and the people who lived it.
Have a great week. Please let me know if you have any library needs that I might be able to help with.

Christian Fiction, part 2
Greetings,
Last week I started a post with titles you might find in a Christian book store. I cut the post short so that I would not overwhelm you with information. So let’s continue where I left off last week.
Lois Walfrid Johnson has written a series titles “The Adventures of the Northwoods” about a family and life at the turn of the century in 1906. The children who like mystery and adventure will enjoy this award-winning series. This is appropriate for boys and girls as a read aloud and students in middle grades and up will be able to read it independently.
Another early 1900’s series is the Mandie series by Lois Gladys Leppard. It is the story of a young girl and her Southern roots and Cherokee background. There are a few dozen in the series. If you can’t find them in print, check a used bookstore. These are still quite popular with students at my school.
Beverly Lewis is a machine as far as it comes to writing books. She writes for all ages. Your middle and upper grade girls will enjoy the Girls Only series and Holly’s Heart series. We actually have younger girls wanting to check these out. We try to dissuade them from this as the girls in these books are high school age girls and have boyfriends and experiences that the younger girls may not be ready for yet. Beverly is also famous for her Amish stories which are also popular with our students and even some of our parents! I have not found any book written by Beverly Lewis that would be inappropriate for our schools.
If your older girls want romance books, consider getting a few Christian romance books by Grace Livingston Hill. I have a friend who lent me a couple of her collection years ago and I started a collection of my own. My friend had two young daughters and was saving them for her girls to read when they got old enough to want to read romance books. Grace Livingston Hill’s characters study the Bible and stand strong in their faith or return to their faith.
Robin Jones Gunn has written a series of books about a girl named Christy Miller. These also are similar to the Holly’s Heart books by Beverly Lewis in that they are geared for older elementary students or high school students. The series is published by Focus on the Family.
Camp Club Girls is a series written by various authors. The series is about a group of girls that end up as roommates at camp and find a mystery going on. Each book focuses on a different girl. You don’t have to have the whole set, because each book stands alone.
I would suspect that most of you have the Sam Campbell nature books. If you don’t, they have been published again in paperback with colorful covers. These should be standard in our libraries. You may not know, but you can also get a DVD of some of his home movies (no sound) that you can show to the kids.
For the horse lovers out there, check out the Heartland series by Laruen Brooke.
Shirley Brinkerhoff has written a series about Nikki Sheldon. These are also similar to the Christy Miller and Holly’s Heart books.
One of my readers sent this information along to me last week.
“I just ordered some books from Lighthouse Trails Publishing and I think they have great selections for the older kids. Not all the books are fiction but they are good reads and warnings for the present time. Some recent releases of books by Corrie TenBoom. "In My Father's House" is a great book. There are other books "For Many Shall Come in My Name" and "Another Jesus" "Castles in the Sand" are great also for the high school kids.”
Many of the books I have mentioned are older books and some may not be in print. However, if you are interested in obtaining them, there are a number of great sources for out-of-print books. I’ll send those along in another email some day.
I hope you have a great week.

Christian Fiction, Part 1
Greetings!
I received two requests a couple of weeks ago asking for ideas for books. One wanted books for the 7th and 8th graders and one wanted ideas for books they could get from the local Christian Book Store.
This week I will begin on titles you might find in your local Christian book store or even a thrift store. I will also note which books or series of books might appeal to the junior high level.
Our local Christian book store closed about a year ago, so we have only the Adventist Book Center as a source for Christian authors. There are plenty of choices available there. I doubt you will go wrong with any titles from the ABC. However, it can be a challenge to find books that the junior high student might want to read. If I could, I would take along a couple of kids to browse around and give them an amount they can ‘spend’ for books that look good to them. This way they will have ownership and the books might get read.
Another idea is to have students read the book; then write their name inside the front or back cover and the date they read the book. They could also write a short or a one word review so other kids can look at it and see what their classmates thought of the book.
You can also have your junior high students (or other ages, too) set up a display of books they like (from YOUR school library!) Call it “Jennifer’s Picks” and see what happens. This is a great idea for a small school. Larger ones might not be able to implement this idea as easily as a small school.
Well, on to the book ideas.
Nancy Rue is very prolific and writes a lot of series books. One favorite series at my school is the Lily series. Here’s Lily, Ask Lily, and Lily in London are just a few of the titles in the series. Nancy also wrote the historical fiction series The Charleston Years, The Chicago Years, The Santa Fe Years, The Salem Years, and The Williamsburg Years. If you happen across any of her books, you could assume that they are appropriate for your school. I have not found any of her books that aren’t. The Lily books are great for grades 5 and up and the other sets for grades 6 and up.
Sisters in Time is a series written by various authors. It is historical fiction for different time periods. Sarah’s New World is a Mayflower adventure, and Anna’s Fight for Hope is set in the Great Depression time period. There are a number of other titles, too. In a way, it is similar to the Dear America series, but with a Christian focus. These books are good for grades 5 and up. (Shelving Note: We shelve these books together as a series rather than shelving them individually by author.)
A number of years ago, Jeanette Oke turned out book after book. The books were meant for Christian adult readers, but older students began reading them from their parents’ libraries and we got them in the library. The series Love Comes Softly has been also turned into TV movies which come on fairly regularly. (Side note – The movies have little to do with the books. I have tried to watch them, but give up when they leave out my favorite parts of the books!) This series is about a family and their experiences in covered wagon days. Oke also wrote a series called The Canadian West (my personal favorite), a four-book series about a boy named Joshua – Once Upon a Summer, The Winds of Autumn, Winter is not Forever, and Spring’s Gentle Promise. Oke also wrote a number of stand-alone books that do not have sequels. All of these are appropriate for junior high and above.
Kay D. Rizzo is an Adventist author who has also written a number of books. One very popular series is the Serenity series which may still be in the ABC stores. This would be good for junior high and up. Most of her books are written for high school age students.
Gilbert Morris began writing the House of Winslow series and just kept on writing sequel after sequel. I THINK the last one was # 40, but there may be even more. On top of that, he writes other historical fiction as well and has other series books. A few years ago someone donated about 30 of these books to our library. We weren’t sure if the students would read these or not, so we just put them out on a table to see what would happen. The books were just the thing for our higher readers in junior high and we eventually did process them for the library. These books are adult reading level.
I’ll continue this theme next week. If you have any ideas for books from a local Christian book store, I would be happy to consider including your ideas in here, too.
Have a great week.
