hi all, I would like to add a book by a rather unknown writer to the picture book category:
"The Boy Who Grew Flowers"
Ages 4 to 10 years
Written By: Jen Wojtowicz
Illustrated By: Steve Adams

HOW ABOUT:
Scat BY Carl Hiaasen. Looks like it could be a good mystery book.
Haven t read it yet but I would say Middle - on the list of books to read

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa - ISBN: 9781741168693
Middle category
kids love it and it has a nice tie in to Midsummer's night Dream

Out of Shadows by Jason Wallace
Senior
From the reviews and summary it sounds like a good read.

Monkey Magic: The Curse of Mukada
This would be perfect for Junior

I am unable to find my book to add to the bookshelf so I am going to nominate here.

Hi all, I would like to suggest Archibald and the Blue Blood Conspiracy by SherMay Loh. It's for 8-15 year olds. website is www.shermayloh.com

Thanks!

Okay, I have added all these suggested titles onto the Group Bookshelf.

As I sort through how we can best use the Red Dot Group Suggestion list AND the ISLN Reads account (http://www.goodreads.com/isln), I've decided to add all the suggested titles to ISLN Reads -- and then delete them from this Suggestion list. That way we only have to look at the ISLN Reads bookshelf -- where we can then identify books to go on the 2011-2012 Red Dot Long List for summer reading. NB: We are only looking at books published in 2008, 2009, 2010, or 2011 -- so there is an ISLN Reads bookshelf called pre-2008 for books that no longer qualify for the Red Dot Awards. I'm storing the publication year in the "Date Read" field -- to make it easy to sort the bookshelves by publication date. -- Katie

p.s. Okay, now that I've done quite a few, I'm changing my mind. I'm just going to leave them on the Red Dot Suggestion Group bookshelf -- because the information I'm losing is WHO suggested it. But I'm still transferred/adding all the Suggested books to ISLN Reads... as you can do more with an individual account's bookshelves than you can with a group's bookshelves. My apologies to people whose books I've already removed from this Suggested group bookshelf!
