I am working on a grant project with which I will be updating some of our YA social issues reference resources as well as our literary criticism tools. We had to discontinue getting Contemporary Literary Criticism several years ago due to budget constraints, and would like something to supplement what we do have. Do any of you have any recommendations for wonderful literary criticism references for high school students that don't cost above about $500.00 for a set? We need something that is complete unto itself, not an ongoing subscription. For that reason, we cannot use online databases. Am I asking for the moon and the stars, too? Thanks for any suggestions!

Her daughter is not a permanent presence in her daughter's life, but does show up from time to time. She is looking for a book to read to her granddaughter about mommies loving you even if they aren't living with you or books that have grandparents raising their grandchildren. She is four years old. Thanks for your help!

It was about a tiny Christmas tree in the tree lot that no one wanted to buy because it was so tiny. Then a big burly man came and bought it and ended up putting it on the mast of his boat in the harbor. So, it was the tallest Christmas tree in the whole town. We have searched the internet and that's it. Thank you. Heather ------------------------------ End of PUBYAC Digest 1292 *************************
