The Book: "Annie Tipton Chuch Camp Chaos" In this second fabulous release in the Diary of a Real Payne series you'll find yourself ROTFL as EJ is more than ready to be done with Ms. "Picky" Pickerington, CoraLee McCallister, and fourth grade in general. Hello sunshine, hello 11th birthday party, hello. . .Camp.

The Author: Irene S. Roth is an Author and Editor for Halo Publishing. She has a Masters Degree in Philosophy and Psychology from York University and is currently using her expertise to write for kids about empowerment and self-esteem.

The Book: In this book, Ms. Roth argues that there are four seasons of empowerment for adolescent girls. Sadly no adolescent girl can simply wake up one day, snap her fingers, and be empowered to tackle the world and all the forces that exist inside and outside.

The National Writing for Children Center is a showcase for children's books and their authors and illustrators. Each month, they showcase children's book authors and/or illustrators to let children, parents, grandparents, teachers, librarians, and others interested in the world of children's literature know about these artists' wonderful new children's books.
