Book Description
At the request of her many fans, Patty Campbell, editor of the Scarecrow Studies in Young Adult Literature series, has selected some of her best essays, articles, columns, and speeches in Campbell's Scoop. These pieces define the boundaries between children's and adult literature and review the trends, censorship, problems, and glories of the genre. Other essays reflect on some concerns and interests of young adult literature as it has matured: the verse novel, ambivalent endings, violence, the sometimes dubious value of awards and honor lists, the graphic novel, and the difficulties of the genre's recent overwhelming success. A section titled "Inside ALA" looks at the author's many years of service to that organization with, among other pieces, a firsthand look at the Best Books committee at work and a report of her attempt to unite booksellers and librarians in common cause. Many of these selections show the idiosyncratic wit and passion that have made Campbell's column a favorite with Horn Book readers: an exploration of the meaning of the glut of YA novels with death as a theme or character; an indignant denunciation of the fictional abuse of animals; a snarky analysis of "chick lit;" and a technical review from the belly-dancing critic of a YA novel featuring that ancient art. On a more serious note, Campbell pleads for what she calls "Godsearch" in books for teens and pays tribute to her late friend Robert Cormier. Without question, the essays in Campbell's Scoop provide readers with the unique insights of an advocate who is passionate about young adult literature and its future.

Book Description
Money Talks. Secrets Walk. Jasmine Green is the daughter of a major Hollywood studio head. She lives the kind of life that makes people salivate (while hating her): bottomless bank account, vintage car, mansion, and birthday parties that end up splashed across the pages of People magazine. But even fabulously wealthy girls (and their family and friends) have skeletons in their walk-in closets. Just to clear her head, Jasmine anonymously writes a thinly veiled exposè about her life in the form of a screenplay. But when the script is bought by her own father's studio, suddenly this juicy read is the talk of the town, and on the fast track to being green-lit. Jasmine knows she has to do whatever it takes to stop her family's dirty laundry from becoming the next box-office smash. But she's up against one persistent tabloid reporter who's making it very, very difficult to keep her secrets....

Book Description
"As the base for global economic power shifts from the West to Asia, India has undergone a transformation. The mobile phone has reached the Indian village. The is now home to an emerging high-tech culture, which has brought with it entrepreneurship and pockets of wealth. A vibrant contemporary Indian art world with a developed gallery structure has risen with the new economy." "In her accompanying text to The Empire Strikes Back, Zehra Jumabhoy tracks the relationship between the art world and the economic climate. She succinctly presents the diverse threads of contemporary India, while touching on such universal themes as gender politics, national stereotypes and the collision between the 'folk' tradition and the computer age." "Just as a new international art world has surfaced in the galleries of Mumbai and other Indian cities with spectacular results, clearly evident throughout The Empire Strikes Back, Jumabhoy argues that the same culture is vulnerable to the effect of the recession and that the end of an economic boom may indeed have healthy consequences for this vital generation of Indian artists." --Book Jacket.
