I keep saying he has done more for boys'literacy then any other title I can think of. <BR/><BR/>I will always remember one of my non-reading students looking at me in amazement and shock and saying, "Mrs. P...I just can't stop reading these books!"Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-1137379188137259632006-01-15T20:39:00.000-06:002006-01-15T20:39:00.000-06:00I happen to think that Captain U is pretty sophist...I happen to think that Captain U is pretty sophisticated stuff.

The most recent permutation of this argument is the debate over graphic novels. Honestly, there are some folks who will not have Goosebumps in their library because it is not "good" literature. I figure we want kids to read, why not give them the books they want to read then they will read? <BR/>Hoo boy.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-1137354540207273512006-01-15T13:49:00.000-06:002006-01-15T13:49:00.000-06:00I looked at Ark Angel in the library yesterday (wh...I looked at <I>Ark Angel</I> in the library yesterday (whilst the librarian went in search of the errant copy of <I>White Darkness</I> that I was trying to collect ! I decided not to borrow it just yet - I've not read <I>Eagle Strike</I> or <I>Scorpia</I> yet - too busy working my way through Robin Hobb's 3 series !
