Eagleman's delivery style sometimes expands 30 minutes of solid information into a 60-minute segment. New discoveries and research (about mirror neurons or brain tumors, for example) will likely mean material is quickly outdated, giving this a short shelf life for educational use.
An excellent film for environmental science, ecology, and marine biology classes.
Very valuable for lessons about economics, the environment, and international relations if follow-up discussions incorporate possible areas of change.
Recommended for all middle schoolers. ["Pearsall has struck just the right tone by imbuing her well-rounded, interesting characters with authentic voices and pacing the action perfectly": SLJ 7/15 starred review of the Knopf book.]
Especially of interest for screening to theater clubs and classes, gay-straight alliances, and diversity-focused student groups.
This book will certainly appeal to young teens of all genders looking for an adventure beyond the pages of a comic book.
This delightful debut novel will appeal to middle school readers who enjoyed the "Tupelo Landing" mysteries by Sheila Turnage (Dial). ["A solid debut novel for middle graders who enjoy a blend of history and mystery": SLJ 8/15 review of the Nancy Paulsen book.]
Listeners will love spending time with these sweet and interestingly quirky characters. ["While the writing style is clear with a strong use of vocabulary, Piper herself is two-dimensional": SLJ 7/15 review of the Knopf book.]
