Canada's Globe and Mail features a number of reviews on new children's literature today.

Most interesting is Wendy Kitt's review of T.C. Boyle's (!) new collection of stories for teens, The Human Fly and Other Stories.

Sherrie Posesorski reviews the book that's currently on top of my "to read" list, Polly Horvath's The Vacation.

Susan Perren rounds up recent back-to-school books . And there are also reviews of Inkspell, Skybreaker, and even an article about books about reading and writing kids' books.

Phew! That's a lot of reading for a Saturday morning.
