Indian Paintbrush Nominees 2008-2009

Welcome to the Indian Paintbrush 2008-2009 Blog for Slade Elementary School. This blog is for teachers, librarians, students and parents to review the books nominated for the Wyoming Indian Paintbrush award. It's my first attempt at blogging: you'll see changes as I learn more. For example, since I'm using blogger.com, it looks like anyone can view the comments, but only those who have an account with google are able to make a contributing comment. I'll keep investigating.

Send me your comments at bossjanet@gmail.com and I'll add them to the blog. Be sure to sign your work, so I can give you credit! Scroll down the right column to contributors and you'll find my profile under Books2Read.

This blog is for current Indian Paintbrush nominees. I'll set up additional spots for other children's book reviews. If the the book is checked out from the Slade Library, you can check the Albany County Public Library catalog to see if the books are available.

the Fairy Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley

Buckley, Michael - The Fairy Tale Detectives (Sisters Grimm #1)

From the Albany County Public Library catalog:
This first book in the Sisters Grimm series introduces two orphaned sisters, Sabrina and Daphne, who are sent to live with their mysterious grandmother. When they learn they are descendants of the Brothers Grimm, they soon discover it is the Grimm family's legacy to keep the Everafters in line--and the two sisters are the sole heirs to this challenge. So far there are 5 books in the series.

Sounds similar to Fablehaven. I'll have to read it and compare....

Genre: fantasy in a contemporary setting.
Doorway of appeal: haven't read it yet!
Nonfiction reads: any fairytales would be good to combine with this story.
