South Carolinia Young Adult Book Awards Booktalks

Welcome to my book talks on the South Carolina Young Adult Book Award Nominees for 2008-09!

Thank you for visiting my book talk web site. If you are a teacher or media specialist/librarian, you are welcomed to stream this audio and use the brochure in your classroom. In a few of the book talks, I have adapted information from reviews or through information provided by the publisher about the books. The source for these book talks is cited in the recording.   I have read all but one of the books.  (Don't ask which one!)  I am serving my third year as a member of the SCASL committee for Young Adult Book Awards.
 
The music is provided by Infi Midi .
