for the September/October 2006
Horn Book Magazine
What makes a good book? Our September/October
special issue poses that question to some of the best writers, editors,
and critics in the field. Robin
Smith expands on her article with a round-up of favorite read-alouds
for second-graders. Nancy
Werlin’s piece on thrillers (which she describes as books
about “nasty people doing bad, illegal, and/or unethical things”)
prompts us to create our own menu of unsavory literary treats. Reviews
for all titles are included.
