Most Famous Corgi Lovers: Queen Elizabeth II

The Tweener Lenses
Given that I have two tweeners of my own, I consider myself an expert on tweenerdom. Here are some lenses on what's hot with the 7-to-12 crowd! iCarly
iCarlyIn 5... 4... 3... 2... It's iCarly, the show that's bringing kids back to Nickelodeon!
Carly Shay is a young teen girl living with her goofy 20-something artist brother while their parents are out of the country in the military.
Carly, her best friend Sam, and her techno-geek neighbor Freddie start a web show that unexpectedly becomes wildly popular!
They create a website for their show-- a website that actually exists online! It's a really clever blend of reality and TV fiction in cyberspace.
Hannah Montana
Hannah MontanaThe Best of Both Worlds! Hannah Montana-- Disney Channel's latest multi-media hit! Miley Stewart is a regular middle-school girl leading a double life as a famous pop star! The rest of the characters follow the familiar Disney channel formula: cool, yet not cool parent, goofy brother, and two best friends (one boy, one girl). Also following Disney's successful formulaic plan, the show branches off into books, music, and music videos! Check out the fun of Hannah Montana and get the the best of both worlds!

American Girl Info
American Girl InfoAmerican Girl books, dolls and accessories hold a real fascination for the 7-12 set-- and moms can love them too! The whole premise behind American Girl is that there is a need for dolls that depict girls being girls, not adults with abnormally proportioned bodies, or tarted up brats!
The American Girl doll and book collections are not only wholesome and beautifully made, but they capture young girls' imaginations and teach them something about what all girls have in common-- friends and family, loyalty and bravery, heart and soul.
This lens offers a compilation of the most interesting and relevant American Girl-related websites from my browsings. Enjoy!
Nancy Drew: Old and New!
Nancy Drew: Old and New!I loved Nancy Drew when I was a girl, and now my daughter has discovered her too! Nancy seems to be having a resurgence these days. Besides the old tried-and-true series of books about the titian-haired sleuth*, there is now a new series for younger girls called The Nancy Drew Notebooks (Nancy and her pals began solving mysteries at age eight!), and even a new movie coming out in May, that updates the whole story, in a really cute way!
Check out my links, and introduce your kids to Nancy Drew!
*And yes, every girl ends up running to the dictionary to look up the word titian (Titian, adjective, (of hair) a bright golden auburn: a mass of titian curls), and yes, sometimes the word sleuth (Sleuth, noun, a detective).
