I don't want your organs and I won't disappear, no matter how much you beg

As I am conducting a review of popular YA science fiction I felt I had to title the post as I did.

Kids, I don't want your organs. Despite what The House of the Scorpions and Unwind imply, I really am not breeding you for the sole purpose of stealing your kidney.

I also don't plan on disappearing and leaving you stranded on
A. A desert island (Beauty Queens)
B. An alternate reality/your own town (Gone)
C. A maze/psychological experiment. (Maze Runner)
Really, I don't.

But it wouldn't hurt to be nice to me.

First Post

I have been dubbed the "Skeptical Librarian" by my peers because I have my doubts, want to see the evidence and ask a lot of questions.

This space is a place to explore the trends in librarianship and children's literature and ask the questions we are all thinking:

* Is [insert trend] all it's cracked up to be?
* Will it really work in my library?
* What's next?

I won't claim to have all the answers, I am a baby librarian. But I will ask the questions and research the answers.
