From School Library Journal
Lesesne uses the attention-grabbing term of the title to describe the sheer joy that reading brings to some individuals but not to others. The succinct text wastes no time in painting a portrait of tween readers (a definition expanded to include those students in grades 4-8) and conveys why it’s crucial to engage them at this stage. Grounded in research (both the author’s and notable others), the book offers concrete solutions to reading resistance by highlighting a baker’s dozen of strategies that require little time or money to implement. Highly motivational for teachers frustrated by emphasis on the assessment of reading ability rather than reading passion, this title reads like a heart-to-heart chat with a trusted colleague. While it may be most helpful for reading professionals, it is accessible to anyone concerned about the future of reading. Filled with various lists of kid-appealing titles, including an appendix of 100 Great Books for Tw (more…)

Anyone who has read the Harry Potter books is aware that author J.K. Rowling infuses her stories with references to mythology, literature, history, and legends. Even if you don’t know exactly what a manticore or a griffin is, it’s likely that many readers have at least a vague sense of the existence of these creatures in ancient lore. Inspired by Rowling’s suggestion to a young fan to “go and look it up,” author David Colbert did quite a bit of investigation himself. The result is the fun, entertaining, and enlightening Magical Worlds of Harry Potter. From alchemy to hippogriffs to veela, Colbert explores the fascinating meanings between the lines and buried within the names of characters and places in all the Harry Potter books. Chapter headings include such intriguing questions as “Have Witches Always Flown on Broomsticks?” “Why Would Chocolate Help After Escaping a Dementor?” and “Are Any of the Famous Witches and Wizards Real?
