- Elaine Scott's first published work had a cold-and-snow theme -- written when she was ten, it was a poem about three snowmen who know they will melt in the spring. Since then she has written many non-fiction books. She lives in Houston, Texas, where when she isn't reading or writing, she is sailing. [adapted from Poles Apart (2004)]

Funny papers : behind the scenes of the comics by Elaine Scott
Interesting if very niche book discussing some of the history of comics and how they are made. There is a reference to the blood borne transmission of AIDS. There is a Doonesbury strip that obliquely alludes to sexual impropriety.
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
Hard to believe the miners made it out alive! Their strength , leadership, and faith kept the miners hopeful!
This book would be perfect for a supplemental reading for a middle/high school financial literacy course. It covers many major topics, like banking, debt, and budgeting, yet also throws history lessons about bartering, the Great Depression, and the Great Recession. The illustrations are very eye-catching, especially the breakdown of how to write a check. Even being a college Senior, this book taught me a few things about money that I never knew.
