I think, though, Pix would be safe recommending anything that's marketed as YA, and shelved there, since the kids could certainly find it themselves.
Well, yes and no. There's a big difference between the girls finding books themselves in a YA section and me actively recommending them as their teacher. I think I'll stay away from
Tithe
as a rec, but the rest sound like they'd be fine. (My guess is that they will find
Tithe
anyway, but I don't like taking chances with parents with students that age.) Thanks!!
Hivemind help: Does anyone remember a YA author with a last name that started with a Z? I thought it was Paul Zimmer and then Paul Zendle but I'm getting no love.
Thanks, Amy! Trying to include what I can remember in my reading paper and I know I read some of his stuff.
The Pigman
is the only title I can remember off the top of my head, but I know I read all of his stuff at one point.
Paul Zindel website. His name was so familiar. . . titles I recall are
My Darling, My Hamberger
,
Pardon Me You're Stepping on My Eyeball
and possibly
To Take a Dare
and
David and Della.
I don't think I actually remember reading
The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds
but wasn't it also a play or something?
Oh, God, I forgot that one! I think it was either a play of a MOW or something.
I definitely read
My Darling, My Hamburger
and
Pardon Me...
He was great.
I don't think I actually remember reading The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds but wasn't it also a play or something?
It totally was! They did it at Rice.
My first scene in directing class was from The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in the Moon Marigolds! I love that play, although I suspect it might be a little dated now.
My high school did that play, back in nineteen seventy something.
