"Novel might have helped save missing Scout's life."

"Librarians in Maryland were not surprised that Michael was familiar with Hatchet, which won a coveted Newbery Honor for young adult fiction in 1988."

Some administrators, teachers and yes!, even librarians, who do not see our job as a combination of using technology well as a tool, and teaching a love a reading, would do well to read this article.
