My name is Josh and I am 10. I liked The Crystal Navigator because the kids in it are smart and it had cool things in it like scientific gadgets. It’s a smart story about time travel and art. I would like the author to come talk to m y school. Wilbur the . Magic dog is the best. Lots of kid’s books are dumb but this one isn’t. You will learn a lot if you read it.

Nancy Kunhardt Lodge’s website is nancylodge.com. For school visits, there is a contact form. My children are 15 and 17, girl and boy, and I can tell you they loved this book. A good book is for all ages. There are some priceless comments by children on Her Facebook page and on the Kid Literature Author Site which gave The Crystal Navigator a fantastic review.

Please put Nancy Kunhardt Lodge, author of the new middle grade book, The Crystal Navigator, on this list. I gave it to my daughter and she devoured it. She made me write to Professor Lodge to ask her when he next book will be out. The author uses a great fantasy adventure with fascinating information about artists, to address adolescent issues of the fear of making a mistake, being wrong, not fitting in and one little girl’s triumph over them. We could all use a Wise One like Wilbur, who guides Lucy as she navigates the difficult quest to find her self confidence. I have recommended the book to my dayghter’s school librarian. I was delighted to find it is already in our pub,ic library.

This is a wonderful list, and a good study guide for authors as we put together resources for teachers and our readers. I would love to have my website added to this list–it includes discussion questions for each chapter of “A Girl Called Problem,” educational videos, author photos from Tanzania, and suggestions for further reading and action.
