I am a Children's Literature academic (yes we do exist) and I've started a great forum on myff for children's literature enthusiasts of all ages and all levels of interest. It's been great fun setting it up and really exciting, I got 9 members in 2 days, many from the academic world. I'd tried other hosters but they were too complicated to use. I've found the whole process really simple and will recommend it to my friends. What's great is that I'm still learning. Take a look if you're interested, I think it looks really professional and I've already had some very favourable comments.

What kinds of kids? Just elementary?
I'm a high school student that's nominated for membership into the National Society of High School Scholars.

Where would I fit in?

Hi Sapp,

I don't know how old you are but most of the members of my forum so far are adults: teachers, librarians, professors of education and scholars of children's literature like myself, although it wasn't intended to be exclusive. The idea is to get children's literature enthusiasts together from all over the world to talk about children's books. You're welcome to join if you haven't already. If you're a high school student that sounds fine, I think an elementary student (that's younger right?) would be a little overwhelmed in this environment. The link you gave looks like a programme similar to one that my daughter's on for gifted and talented students.I'm British so our education system is different to yours, please enlighten me.
