A roomful of kids, ages ten to seventeen, were given just that opportunity in Vancouver last year. Rowling’s responses to both the kid and grown-up reporters are recorded as individual audio clips along with additional coverage of her Vancouver tour."

Book Adventure
Reviewed February 21, 2001 by Dannielle, a reader from San Antonio, Texas who is not affiliated with the site.Bookadventure.com is a wonderful way of encouraging children to read. They read their favorite books, take a quiz, acquire points that are later used to receive prizes and gift certificates, etc. My daughter can’t wait to read another book. I had to limit how many quizzes she could take per day. I would love to find more sites that reward our children for reading!

Book Hive: Fantasy for 4th to 6th Grades
"The biggest list of the day is found at BookHive, with 102 book reviews in the Fantasy category for intermediate readers (fourth through sixth grade.) I like this site because you add your own comments about any book, and the book reviews are more substantial than those at the other sites. BookHive is published by the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County, and the ""Request from Library"" link only applies to local library cardholders."

Blue Mountain Arts: Shakespeare’s Sonnets
"The majority of Shakespeare’s sonnets were written between 1594 and 1597, when it was popular to circulate personal poems among one’s friends. It was probably never Shakespeare’s intent to publish his sonnets, but because there were no copyright laws in sixteenth century England, Thomas Thorpe published these 154 sonnets without the author’s consent. Today, courtesy of the Web’s largest electronic greeting card site, you can email any of Shakespeare’s sonnets to your e-friends, complemented by your choice of color scheme and background music."
