This documentary should be seen by middle school and high school students as part of a school's antibullying curriculum.

This music video will have the whole family dancing and jiving and can be used as a go-to resource for music/dance programs or playtime.

Familiar fantasy elements set in a complex world will appeal to young fans of action and adventure in the struggle between good and evil. ["Fans of the previous volume will relish the continuing adventures of Call and his friends": SLJ 10/15 review of the Scholastic book.]

A useful program that features practical and valuable career guidance for teens.

A strong narration, but be sure to have the book to share as well. ["Creepy enough for Halloween storyhours, but not enough to scare young listeners": SLJ 6/13 review of the S. & S. book.]

The program for younger students covers important age-appropriate allergy information. The second includes content for more literate students, but the puppet interaction and songs may be too juvenile for fifth and sixth graders. A good purchase for primary grades.

Issues of incest, mental health, and medical ethics make this ripe for book discussions as well. Recommended. ["Fans of period pieces and crime dramas will be pleased with this haunting tale": SLJ 8/15 review of the Katherine Tegen book.]

This will be best used as a read-along as readers will not want to miss David Shannon's evocative, stunning illustrations for a fascinating glimpse of a true hero and the start of the Iroquois union. An afterword about the democratic influence of the Iroquois on the U.S. Constitution is included. ["All students should know the history of the Iroquois Confederacy, and this book provides the perfect opportunity for them to do so": SLJ 8/15 starred review of the Abrams book.]

A good listen for those who like Gail Carriger, steampunk, romance, alternate history, and historical fiction. ["A predictable story that's a whole lot of fun": SLJ 6/15 review of the Farrar book.]
