What is this book about? At first glance, Gamers is about a girl, Gabriella DeCorte, trying to find her way in the world: growing up, what does she wants to do with her life, holding onto her friends as adulthood approaches, where she fits in the world. And in this future extrapolation of our world, eye-screens and sense-webs allow games to invade every facet of society. Everything becomes a game. A game to be measured and the results compared, to improve society, to improve people … to... Read Full Story

Aurelia, age 14, is like others of that age who cannot wait to be an adult, when she comes upon Seavus, a fairy, who can grant her that wish by accelerating time. But soon, after wishing for time to accelerate whenever she faces difficulties, her life frantically races by as she moves... Read Full Story

I will never forget Sadie’s first cold. I think she was about four months old. I had just taken a nanny job looking after three school-age girls after school. They loved Sadie, and I knew that all the loving she was getting was bound to have a germ or two. It’s so pitiful when they’re sick as there isn’t much to do for them under age five. I remember her sleeping in her infant car seat next to my bed ... the humidifier going, baby Vicks on her little feet. Hearing that stuffy nose and raspy... Read Full Story

A new study commissioned by Scholastic Media and the HandsOn Network , “ It Starts with Character: Inspiring Kids & Teens to Volunteer ,” bears this out. The study found that children and teens who have more exposure to character-building skills are more... Read Full Story
