Become a Flume Reader!
The Flume Award Committee met recently and discussed the Flume 2009 nominations. We culled the list and now we need folks to read the remaining titles and share their thoughts about the books and whether they think they would be worthy finalists. We aim to provide a range of reading levels as well as a variety of genres for teens in grades 9-12 We are interested in whether you think the book is well-written, whether it will appeal to this age group, how the book compares to other titles nominated, etc. In April, the committee will select the final 13 titles based on everyone's input.
To facilitate on-line sharing in the next few months, Sara Zoe Patterson has created a wiki for discussion of the titles. It's easy to use, and we hope people will add their thoughts as they read nominated books. (You do not need to sign in or join the wiki.) On the homepage of the wiki, you will find the list of nominated titles. Just click on one of the titles, and when you get to the next page, click "Edit this page." Then in the page that comes up, type your comments and please add your name and date. After you have finished, click "Save." All of these instructions can also be found on the wiki homepage. Visit http://flume.wikispaces.com/ and begin discussing the Flume titles today!
