Hi, everyone. If you missed our earlier announcement<\/a><\/strong>, 7-Imp is currently guest blogging at ForeWord Magazine<\/a><\/em><\/strong> at their Shelf Space<\/a><\/strong> column (“Booksellers and Librarians talk about what’s in their reading room and what’s on the horizon”) for the next few weeks. Eisha took week one with some YA novel reviews<\/a><\/strong>, and this week I’ve got reviews of four middle-grade\/early YA novels up. It’s called “Middle-Grade Novel Round-Up: Or, The Only Place You’ll See Joey Pigza, Camels, a Tangled Mass of Fairy Tale Green, and Banjos in One Post,” and it’s here<\/a><\/strong>. The novels I review are: <\/p>\n

* Camel Rider<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Prue Mason<\/a><\/strong> (Charlesbridge<\/a><\/strong>; June 2007; review copy); <\/p>\n

* Into the Wild<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Sarah Beth Durst<\/a><\/strong> (Razorbill\/Penguin Young Readers<\/a><\/strong>; June 2007; review copy);<\/p>\n

* Louisiana\u2019s Song<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Kerry Madden<\/a><\/strong> (Viking Juvenile<\/a><\/strong>; May 2007; review copy); and <\/p>\n

* . . . I kicked things off with I Am Not Joey Pigza<\/a><\/strong><\/em> by Jack Gantos<\/a><\/strong> (Farrar, Straus & Giroux<\/a><\/strong>; July 2007; review copy). I reviewed this back in September<\/a><\/strong>, but for this piece, I took portions of that review and added a few comments that Jack Gantos made at the recent Southern Festival of Books<\/a><\/strong> about the writing of this novel.<\/p>\n

Here’s<\/a><\/strong> the link again if you want to go take a gander. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
