And, indeed we have enough info to talk specifically about middle grade books and readers for several KidLitCons to come.<br /><br />It was me talking about Middle Readers - Careful Content as that's one tag which Barb Langridge gives on www.abookandahug.com so that librarian-reviewers can highlight books with interesting/mentally challenging content which precocious readers ages 8-10 can enjoy *without* running into teen situations and problems.<br /><br />Can't wait till next year's KidLitCon - being able to discuss kids/YA books with other enthusiastic, authentic (thank you, Cynthia Leitich Smith & Lee Wind for bringing this front and center) fans who love connecting books and readers.<br /><br />**Katy<br />(getting ready to travel the Natchez Trace Parkway)Katy Manck, MLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271516779182899993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-67698462255933273562013-11-11T22:33:05.133-05:002013-11-11T22:33:05.133-05:00As always, it was terrific seeing you again Charlo...As always, it was terrific seeing you again Charlotte.
