I just finished reading this book - I reviewed it yesterday. Here's the outfit that Maggie wears to the Halloween party - the night her life changes.

Teen Tech Week

Happy Teen Tech Week!

I don't use technology often with my teens because we don't have a computer lab available. We have several teen computers, where they come in to use for school work or more likely play on Facebook. I try to have technology programs where they have to do something and then turn it it or email me the results. Sometimes it introduces them to new technologies. 

This week, I'm hosting a contest for teens at the library:

Create an outfit for your favorite book character. Use polyvore.com (a free site) to create an outfit. Share it with Jennifer via the Otis Library facebook page, the Otis Library Pinterest page, or email the link to jrummel@otis.lioninc.org. Share the outfit with Jennifer before Saturday 3/16 at 3 pm to be entered into a drawing for an iTunes gift card.
 
Check out our pinterest page for inspiration:

There are times when contests work really well at my library, and times when no one enters. I hope this week it's one of those times that works really well! How are you celebrating Teen Tech Week?

Teen Character Book Outfit: Sydney Sage

I adore Richelle Mead and her Vampire Academy series. I just finished The Golden Lily, part of the spin off series Bloodlines. Sydney is pretty conservative - here's something I picture her wearing.

Teen Book Character Outfit

I'm at a writing retreat this weekend, my first ever. I've been looking at a lot of pictures trying to strengthen my world.  Here's a peek into my main character Princess Raphaela. She's a girl fighting for her crown and her people, fighting for the right to rule as a female. There's friendship, romance, and dragons.
