Hi,

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Paris Trout, and thought you might like my novel since it's also southern and a bit dark (in the same vein as Paris Trout). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

I'm not progressive or liberal, but I saw your thread on books for children that represent these ideals. You might check out Knee-Knock Rise by Natalie Babbit. It's a fantasy where the unknown is feared and made into a big monster. (It's also a Newbery Honor book) I think you would like this book and the author.
