Target: Novels about Japan for 8th grade girl

[Nancy Dickinson <fsufan23@CHARTER.NET>]

Greetings!
I am flying high....On fall break and just back from the National
Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN where I had a fantastic time! My
first trip to the festival where I met several other school librarians and
lots of wonderful people, not to mention laughing all weekend at all of the
great stories and storytellers. If you've never been, you need to think
about it! The web site is

While I was there, I met a retired teacher from Colorado who is doing some
tutoring. When she found out I am a school librarian, she started pumping me
for book suggestions! In addition to some other requests which I was able to
answer, she asked me for some good novels about Japan for an 8th grade girl
who is going to visit there. She already knew the book Sadako, and I
couldn't come up with anything. Especially since I am K-5. If you can help,
I got her email address and will send her the suggestions. I told her about
y'all and that I would get back to her!

Thanks for helping to keep our librarians' reputation solid!

Nancy Dickinson, Librarian
Hillsboro Elem. School
Hillsboro, TN 37342 (about 4 hours from Jonesborough, but worth every minute
of the trip!)
