 Bob Hoover and Karen MacPherson chat transcript: 12/13/05
Some great new novels for kids include "The Penderwicks" by Jeanne Birdsall (this just won the National Book Award for young people); "Al Capone Does My Shirts" (a Newbery finalist this past year); "Project Mulberry" by Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park and "Replay" by Newbery Medalist Sharon Creech.
Karen MacPherson: The first 2-3 "Harry Potter" books would be fine for kids age 6 and up, although they probably won't get some of the nuances.
Karen MacPherson: Actually, the next "Harry Potter" book -- book seven -- is supposed to be the last.
