Upcoming: The Unveiling of a New NSCG Branch and a Green Books Campaign

Some exciting events are coming up for the NSCGs.

1. Thursday, Nov. 5: The Unveiling of a New NSCG Branch- While we typically do reviews for YA and older, there has been so much interest in Middle Grade fiction that the NSCGs have added a MG Branch. This branch will feature MG books reviewed by MG-aged readers. Our first review will be of PJ Hoover's The Emerald Tablet. An interview will be included. Both the review and interview were conducted by a middle grade reviewer. (Note: If any MG publishers/authors are interesting in sending us a book for review, send an email to not_so_cg@yahoo.com)
   
2. Tuesday, Nov. 10: Green Books Campaign- NSCG goes green in the Green Books Campaign. We will be reviewing the environmentally-friendly Only Milo in support of this campaign.

Make sure to stop by for both events!

The Perspective Question on The Secret Life of Prince Charming

Before I saw a description for Deb Caletti's The Secret Life of Prince Charming, I wondered whether it was from a guy or girl's point of view.

A few others have questioned this as well.

Though my detailed review and description won't come out until nearer to the publication date in March (I think), I'd like to clarify here.

The Secret Life of Prince Charming is narrated by the seventeen year old Quinn (a girl). Though the majority of the novel is from her point of view, the fellow women in her life get input through little excerpt-like stories that the said women narrate themselves.

It weaves together beautifully. I can't wait until it comes out. It's the kind of book that one wants to share: the kind of book a girl will force upon all her friends so that they, too, will have a chance to love it.

always,
