Supporters of more contemporary and challenging books say they energize kids and spur discussions about social realities that may already be affecting the classroom or community. Yet where should the line be drawn?

(The autopsy showed no evidence of drugs or alcohol.) In addition to commenting on her dating and hairstyles (above at last...
...that means paleontologists everywhere are going to have to rethink the whole spinosaur family of dinosaur that Suchomimus belonged to. Is he the direct ancestor of modern crocodiles, for example? He has pretty much the same jaw and teeth: "It was built for snaring and swallowing," said Sereno. Strangely enough, with all that equipment, Suchomimus did nothing more dominant than hunt for fish. But if you think that makes him a weenie, just remember: The body Sereno found was not even fully grown...
