I've written curriculum for several books, you can find links on my website http://adifferentplace.org. I've also done 5 online books discussions using Moodle. You can see some posts about the discussions here http://anotsodifferentplace.blogspot.com. Let me know if you need more info.

Has anyone read Eager? I'm getting ready to read it to see if it'll be a good fit for a Robotics unit in the fall.

I'm in the middle of listening to the audio book A Drowned Maiden's Hair (so don't give any spoilers) and I'm really intrigued by the two main characters (protagonist/antagonist). If you haven't read it, I know the title sounds awfully morbid, but get past that--it's a really good read! Check it out on Amazon.com.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has used this book with kids either as a read aloud or as a class read or literature circle read? If so, please reply and let me know what you did and the reactions from your kiddos.
