First, let me just say that the illustrations in this book are amazing. Every page is like a new painting to enjoy. The story is great, too! Moyo and Japera are siblings walking through town to get to the baobab tree. Who will they find there? They are not sure, but they cannot wait to arrive and see.

I read a fun book this week called, "What A Boy Wants" by Nyrae Dawn. I really enjoyed that it's told from Sebastian's POV or Bastian as his friends call him. He's "The Hook-Up Doctor" offering anonymous advice to girls on how to get the guy of their dreams while he himself avoids love at all costs. That is, until he slips and falls in love, hard. I thought it would be fun to chat with the guy of the hour and I have to admit, my inner teen came out (just a 'lil bit) when he agreed. ;)
So, today, I'm talking to Sebastian, aka "The Hook-Up Doctor" from Nyrae Dawn's "What A Boy Wants". *giggles*
Don’t worry… I seem to have that effect on girls. *Winks at Jen* (nearly.faints)
Hey Bastian, I know you're a busy guy and I really appreciate you taking the time to answer a few questions.
No prob. Gotta do my part, ya know?
A lot of readers have noticed the cover shot of you. *blushes* It's um, well, you're definitely not riding the ugly train and your hair is so cool but you already know this. *giggles* OK, sorry, I get easily distracted by sparkly things and the cover is definitely sparkly. *more giggling* *clears throat*
Dude! We keep hearing about the cover. Stoked that’s the picture we chose. But yeah… thanks, and all. I do have nice hair, don’t I? ;) (Yes. Yes, you do.)
Being The Hook-Up Doctor, I'm sure you've gotten all kinds of questions. What's the most awkward question or advice you've been asked?
Umm… the ones asking for technical advice are always a little creepy. I mean, how do you tell someone how to kiss through email. And if you’re asking that? Yeah… not sure I can help. It’s hard though… when I get girls who put themselves down or whatever, it bothers me (probably the being raised by a single mom thing). I’m always telling them confident girls are hot. Gotta be proud of who you are, ya know? (Great advice actually!)
Best advice you've given?
Okay, so I know this is going to sound cocky, but I think all my advice is pretty damn good. I mean, I’ve seen a lot. Seen my mom make a lot of mistakes and yeah… that sucks, so I put a lot of thought into the advice I give. It may not seem like it, but I take it very seriously. (I totes believe you.)
Any advice you've given that you wish you could take back?

I'm a huge baseball fan, so I was excited that I got the opportunity to read this book. I haven't read the first three books in the series but I didn't feel like I missed anything. There are a lot of great baseball facts in this book. There is information about the game, including the hidden ball trick, and then at the end there is a special section called Dugout Notes that features information about the Astros' ballpark.

A funny, refreshing take on love and relationships from a guy's POV, Sebastian is the "Hook-Up Doctor", an anonymous match maker who helps girls get their dream guys.
He, himself doesn't "do" love or long term relationships because he's watched his mom crash and burn so many times he's lost count. He figures keeping things strictly "fun" is the way to go. This theory works great until he falls in love...

Where do the bubbles come from in a piece of cake? Why do triangles make a structure stronger? And how come magnets don't stick to the wall? This colorful and straightforward introduction to the physical sciences gives young readers an easy-to-understand overview of such concepts as materials, forces, structures, solids, liquids and gases. Explanations are accompanied by simple, fun activities, including building a structure out of dried spaghetti and inflating a balloon with a gas made by combining vinegar and baking soda. Parents and teachers will find more explanations, activity ideas and a helpful glossary in the back. To read more my review, click here.

This book really impressed me. Not only is it a great book to learn from, but it's an EASY book to learn from. IT's not your typical boring educational book, no sirree. It's simple words are easy to read and talk about it with young children. Plus, it's about bats! My boys are completely into bats right now and loved reading this book over and over.

An active daydreamer, Martin can't help his mind from wandering on the first day of school. His teacher's waving arms remind him of the seagulls that fly along the river banks, which reminds him of a summer trip he took with his mother, which reminds him of a poem he wrote, which reminds him...

We've got some amazing news for Julie Kagawa fans!
Palomar Pictures Options The Immortal Rules and Blood of Eden Series
by New York Times Bestselling Author Julie Kagawa
Independent film production company Palomar Pictures today announced that it has optioned Blood of Eden, the newest series from New York Times bestselling young adult author Julie Kagawa. The Immortal Rules, the highly anticipated first book in the Blood of Eden series, will be published by Harlequin TEEN on April 24, 2012.
The Immortal Rules is set in a future world where humanity, decimated by a deadly virus, exists merely as a food source and slave class to an elite society of vampires. When a young woman, a survivor who dreams of the day humanity will rise up against their supernatural masters, is turned into a vampire, she is forced to choose between becoming what she despises or helping those who would destroy her.
Palomar principal Joni Sighvatsson was passionate about The Immortal Rules’ film potential and quick to secure film rights for the book and the Blood of Eden series. “It’s simply a great story with an electrifying heroine for the 21st century. It makes the series an ideal subject for a film adaptation," said Sighvatsson. "Julie’s ability to familiarize the reader with this complex world in a few pages demonstrates the cinematic qualities of her imagination and complements my own sensibilities as a film producer."

Lissa (pronounced LISS-sa) studied with Caroline Leavitt, Donald Maass and Janet Fitch, and read at the Iowa Summer Workshop. She has lived in Japan and India, but now resides in the Southern California foothills with her husband and the occasional deer.
She’s a member of SCBWI, SFWA, ITW, as well as one of the Apocalypsies, a group of 2012 debut YA and MG authors. In 2012 she joined Beth Revis and the talented gang of five 2011 and five 2012 debut YA dystopian and science fiction authors at The League of Extraordinary Writers.
Thank you for joining us on YABC today! First off, can you tell us a little bit about your latest novel, STARTERS?
Thanks so much for inviting me! STARTERS takes place in a future where desperate teens rent out their bodies to seniors called Enders so they can enjoy being young again. But one Ender plans to do more than just have fun, she plans to murder someone. It is my debut and came out on March 13. The book trailer showed before The Hunger Games movie in selected theaters both in the U.S. and the U.K.
Were there any television shows, films, songs, or books that helped fuel your creativity and inspiration while working on STARTERS?
I was very encouraged by the writing of Suzanne Collins because she didn't talk down to the reader—she just told her story. I also loved the UGLIES series by Scott Westerfeld for his amazing world building.
But the films of Christopher Nolan were my biggest influences. I love to play with different levels of reality, and have scenes where at least one character doesn't know who the other one really is.
Are there any STARTERS contests our readers should know about and enter?
Yes, always! If you go to www.LissaPrice.com I have a page that updates current contests. And many are announced on Twitter. Follow me at Lissa_Price there or LissaPriceAuthor on FB for the latest announcements.
Which books or authors have inspired your craft?

I know angst is cool and all, but boy, I really love me a happy ending. I love when the kooky, wonderful heroine gets the nice, groovy boy. I love when mean kids get their comeuppance. I love a little bit of magical realism and a gay best friend. I love... oh heck. I loved this book.

In a world where vampires are the ruling race and a plague has left the remaining humans at their mercy, living in fear of the Rabids, seventeen year old Allie dreams of day when the humans will rise up and take back all that's been stolen from them. Their freedom, their choice and their lives. She hates vampires with a vengeance but when she suffers a vicious attack one night at the hands of Rabids, she's faced with a choice, die or be "Turned"?
Once again, Julie Kagawa has written an amazing book that is nothing like I expected! It's a book about finding hope where all hope seems lost and seeing people for who they really are.
