tween questions

1. Who is Justin Bieber?
2. At what age do kids get cell phones?
3. Do tweens find the laugh track on iCarly annoying, or is it just me?
4. Which Jonas brother is which?
5. Has social media/texting/Facebook/internet hoopla helped tweens become more connected to each other, or served to isolate them more?
6. Is the sheer volume of advertising/marketing directed at tweens actually sinister, or is it just me?
7. Why doesn't Miley Cyrus put on some clothes?

Hello world! Don't you just love that librarian reading in this blog's header? She's doing a little yoga twist and reading all the while (and wearing falsies, perhaps? Sheesh.).

So. Welcome to this blog, devoted to all things literary, especially literary things related to tweens. It's amazing that a word originally created to define an untapped consumer market has expanded to encapsulate a literary genre. What sorts of books are out there for tweens? My experience is primarily with younger children, so I am excited to explore some new books-- and old favorites (Hello, Babysitters' Club!).

Stay tuned for more thoughts and ramblings, book reviews, rants about book trailers on youtube, and musings on all things tween.

Happy Reading!
