Some nonsense:
A friend of mine designed "Nugget" the bird for PETA2, and I've become addicted to dressing Nugget in her Halloween garb.
Name a new species! I guess scientists discovered a new species in the Great Salt Lake and if you're under 15, you can enter a contest to name it permanently. How cool is that?
Funny. I'm a fan of Caroline B. Cooney's Goddess of Yesterday, so I was interested to see she had a new book out, Code Orange. I rarely read reviews, but the two reviews on Amazon caught my eye. Compare the first sentences from each review:
"Most readers will have high expectations from the creator of The Face
on the Milk Carton and the Out of Time series, but they might be a
little disappointed in this offering." - School Library Journal
"*Starred Review* In top, utterly terrifying form, Cooney leads a
gregarious New York City teenager to a century-old sample of smallpox
scabs." - Booklist
Ah, the wonder of opinion.
