    Julie Danneberg, Judy Love

    Paperback (Charlesbridge, Feb. 1, 2003)
    In this sequel to FIRST DAY JITTERS, Sarah Jane Hartwell receives letters from her students, the principal, and even the janitor, in this epistolary tale about all that can happen over the course of one school year. As every first-year teacher knows, a classroom full of second graders can be alarmingly unpredictable. The letters the children write to Mrs. Hartwell are sympathetic ("I figured you might be a little scared, just like me"); informative ("…most kids don't eat cauliflower"); encouraging ("Yesterday was THE BEST!"); and apologetic ("I'm sorry about throwing up all over your shoes"). Even a local firefighter writes to Sarah Jane. Fun, funny, and heart-warming, Danneberg’s newest installment in the Mrs. Hartwell Classroom series is sure to delight both teachers and children as they follow Mrs. Hartwell and her class through the year. Classes will be inspired to write letters to their own teachers about their favorite, or wildest, days of the year.

    Emerson Blankinship's first year of college is shaping up to be an interesting one. She’s determined to make her three-year relationship with her boyfriend, Nate, continue to work even though he’s going to a different school. Her new roommate, Katarina, is set on bringing her out of her shell. And she's starting to get close to Logan, who also goes to North State and happens to be Nate's best friend (and who also used to be her friend before he suddenly stopped talking to her in high school). On top of it all, her lost love for art is reignited by joining Outlet, a group of creative misfits. The only problem? Every time she sits down to sketch something, her mind goes completely blank. She’s convinced it has nothing to do with: a) the fact that she’s probably failing biology, b) the nagging feeling she has that Nate is slipping away from her, c) the confusion she feels about where her friendship with Logan stands, or d) the major news her parents drop on her halfway through the year.During her first year, Emerson is forced to make some difficult decisions—like what she wants to do with her life and who she wants by her side while she does it. Who will she choose? And how will it end?First Year is a contemporary YA novel about going to college, growing up, and learning to let go. This book is intended for readers who like sweet romances and happy endings!
