			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In this essay, K. L. Glanville, author of <em><strong>2108: Eyes Open</strong></em>,shares her thoughts on how science fiction can stimulate discussions about morals and beliefs that take place in the here and now. I've experienced this in book club meetings myself, as club members discussed the ethics of using imagined medical technologies to prolong human life. Read on to find out more about what Glanville has to say. Then check out the description of her book below the essay and leave a comment by midnight (PST), Monday, April 23 for a chance to win a copy (U.S. and Canadian addresses only please).
<h4>Science-Fiction—More Than Just the Imagination?</h4>
<a href="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KL-Glanville.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4875 alignleft" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" title="KL Glanville" src="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KL-Glanville-230x300.jpg" alt="K. L. Glanville photo" width="184" height="240" /></a>By K.L. Glanville

I don’t pretend to be an expert on sci-fi by any stretch of the imagination. Yet I still decided to write a futuristic novel. What can I say? Maybe I was a bit presumptuous. I’m simply an author who wanted to have fun writing a novel that takes place in the future. I did have a lot of fun writing <em><strong>2108: Eyes Open</strong></em>, and I hope you’ll agree with me that the story turned out quite exciting.

In writing <em><strong>2108: Eyes Open</strong></em>, I wanted this futuristic story to be somewhat plausible, even if it was outlandish and wild. I wanted the technology and issues in my story to be something close to what could possibly happen. I’m not saying that it will happen, but I researched a variety of subjects for the writing of this book. I researched future technology predictions, current cutting edge technology, genetic alteration, GMO’s, futuristic architecture, what people think about aliens, and all sorts of other rabbit trails. There is validity in the saying that truth can be a whole lot stranger than fiction!

As I dove into these topics and later reflected on the resulting story that sprang from it, I began to realize firsthand how the sci-fi genre is used to flesh out possible ramifications of emerging issues in society. Take for instance transhumanism. A big word, I know. It was a new word for me! Transhumanism is basically the pursuit of enhancing humanity genetically and technologically. It would include things like bionic enhancements and mixing animal and human DNA to give humans some enhanced and more animalistic abilities (like seeing in the dark). There are immense ethical issues related to transhumanism that have only begun to be discussed.

After I wrote my book, I realized I had, among other things, offered a commentary on the possible effects of pursuing the limits of transhumanism. The sci-fi genre isn’t just about seeing how far the author’s imagination can go. It can be used as a springboard to explore possible implications of issues and technologies that are emerging now. Reading sci-fi books with your children can be a great way to introduce discussions on ethical issues and ramifications of various thoughts and technologies.

I hope that when you pick up a copy of my new book, <em><strong>2108: Eyes Open</strong></em>, both you and your child will enjoy a wild ridethrough the story . . . as well as be stimulated to think and discuss!

From K. L. Glanville about her book:<em><strong> 2108: Eyes Open</strong></em> is a fun, intense, a bit romantic and adventurous coming of age story  about Jewel Peara, where she learns about the lives of other people and  beings sharing the planet in the year 2108. Here's an introduction of  the story in her own words:
"It’s the year 2108. I just turned 16. That means I can access the  autopilot on my Aerokopa. So now, I can both fly and scope the Dat-X at  the same time. But what good is that when I don’t even have a date to my  best friend’s party of the century? Okay, well, one of the Holdouts  offered to go with me . . . but there’s NO WAY I’m going with one of  them! And then there are the Trollers docked at the quay. They’re most  likely spies working with the Aliens, bringing nothing but trouble. But  with this visit, they may even bring war. It would be treason to talk to  them, let alone . . . befriend one. But what’s a curious girl to do?  Did I tell you I have a propensity for trouble?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/The-Silence-of-Our-Friends.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4708" title="The Silence of Our Friends" src="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/The-Silence-of-Our-Friends-120x150.jpg" alt="The Silence of Our Friends cover image" width="120" height="150" /></a>

Houston in 1968 was a volatile place with strained relations between blacks and whites. Schools were integrated just a few years before and the unrest there reflected much of what was happening in other parts of the country as well. Into this fray enters the white family of a television cameraman who makes friends with a black activist who was editor of an anti-poverty weekly.

<strong><em>The Silence of Our Friends</em></strong>, by Mark Long, Jim Demonakos and Nate Powell is based on the real life story of author Long’s father, who was the cameraman, and the events that took place around a protest that led to a police officer’s death and the trial of the men arrested for it.

The black and white images in this graphic novel reflect many things from the era: television was in black and white, blacks and whites held preconceived notions about each other, and race lines were usually drawn so that you were either for or against one side or the other. Children often see things as their parents do, and this book is particularly poignant when it shows the children of both families interacting with each other and with others in their own neighborhoods.

The simple act of a white family inviting a black family to dinner, or vice versa, was unheard of, and breaking the unwritten code could be dangerous. The title of the book is taken from the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., quote, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies…but the silence of our friends.” It is a fitting title, and the book challenges readers to really consider the courage it takes to speak up in a place where everything encourages you to keep silent.

I recommend <strong><em>The Silence of Our Friends</em></strong> for ages 14 and up.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Chopsticks.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4698" title="Chopsticks" src="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Chopsticks.jpg" alt="Chopsticks cover image" width="120" height="141" /></a>

As <strong><em>Chopsticks</em></strong> opens, Glory Fleming, child prodigy that critics hailed as “the Brecht of the Piano,” has gone missing from the rest home where she was staying and being treated for exhaustion. Only 17 at the time, Glory has already played at top venues in the U.S. and Europe, and she is renowned for her modern innovations on classical pieces.

From this beginning, the story of what happened to Glory is slowly revealed through scrapbook cuttings, photos, drawings and more. We see photos of her parents’ marriage, her pregnant mother, and notices of her mother’s death when Glory was only 8. As she grows, her progress is send through recital programs from Carnegie Hall, articles in “The New Yorker,” and photos of Glory with her piano-teacher dad.

In high school a boy from Argentina move next door, and Glory’s life expands a bit. They start to spend time together, sharing playlists, texting each other, and hanging out. But when Glory is scheduled on a European tour and Frank’s grades spiral down, both begin to spin out of control.

Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral use innovative storytelling techniques to keep you turning pages looking for clues to what happens to Glory and Frank. Readers can check out links to YouTube videos that highlight performances from the movie “Big” with Tom Hanks, Hoagy Carmichael playing the Chopsticks waltz and more. The combination of words, images and video create a compelling story through to the end.

I recommend <em><strong>Chopsticks</strong></em> for readers aged 14 and up.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Winter-Town.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4488" title="Winter Town" src="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Winter-Town-120x150.jpg" alt="Winter Town cover image" width="120" height="150" /></a>

Evan and Lucy have been best friends ever since they can remember. They used to spend hours playing together and creating stories and drawings for an imaginary place they call Aelysthia. That was before Lucy’s parents split up and she moved with her mother from New England to Georgia. Now she comes back once a year to visit her dad at Christmas and New Year’s.

Evan hasn’t heard from Lucy in months when she lets him know she’s at her dad’s home again. And she’s changed. Her hair is chopped short and dyed black. She’s got an earring in her nose, and she’s wearing heavy makeup. She doesn’t say much. It’s clear to Evan that something has changed dramatically for her, but she won’t talk about it.

As the two spend time together, they struggle to reconnect and find the person they remember behind the façade they each show to the world. Evan conforms to his dad’s expectations of achieving an Ivy-league education at the expense of his love of art, and Lucy hides the heartbreak of her home life that is at the center of her rebellion.

<strong><em>WinterTown</em></strong>, with story and art by Stephen Emond, takes readers on a journey of self-discovery for both characters. Emond's illustrations of the wintry world Lucy and Evan navigate, both in reality and in Aelysthia, create a feeling of coldness that applies to the outside as well as inside world of both Evan and Lucy.

Evan’s perspective comes first, followed by Lucy’s story and point of view. Woven between chapters is the graphic art Evan creates of Aelysthia, What emerges is a story of teens struggling to be who they are for themselves, regardless of who their parents expect them to be. Evan’s father wants to control too much of his life, while both of Lucy’s parents are too wrapped up in their own lives to pay much attention to hers. Evan and Lucy are important to each other, yet neither can save the other from the challenges they face.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Purple-Daze.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4423" title="Purple Daze" src="http://motherdaughterbookclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Purple-Daze.jpg" alt="Purple Daze cover image" width="120" height="179" /></a>

In 1965 the U.S. was committing more troops to Vietnam, Malcolm X was assassinated, civil rights demonstrators marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, and riots broke out in Los Angeles. Sex, drugs and rock and roll was the mantra of the day. In <strong><em>Purple Daze</em></strong> by Sherry Shahan, six high school friends navigate these unsettling times along with other challenges of growing up, like having alcoholic parents, deciding whether or not to have sex with a boyfriend, trying to get through school, and getting drafted.

The story is told in journal entries, verse, headline news clips and letters that give us insights into the inner lives of each of the characters, as well as a feeling for the backdrop of historical events of the time. This format is powerful and compelling, getting to the heart of all the issues with a minimum of words. As the year progresses and the characters are more and more affected by events within their own group of friends and in the country, each of them struggles to determine how they will respond and what they truly believe in.

<strong><em>Purple Daze</em></strong> is not only a good way to learn more about this time in our country’s history, it’s also a moving look at how the lives of individuals were affected. While many of the issues were particular to the era, others are more universal for teens at all times. I recommend it for ages 15 and up.

Here's a guest review by author <a href="http://authorhamlett.com">Christina Hamlett</a>.

Title: THE BONE MAGICIAN
Author: F. E. Higgins
Publisher: Feiwel &amp; Friends (2008)
Genre: YA Fantasy

Deodonatus Snoad. Benedict Pantagus. Aluph Buncombe. Rudy Idolice. The gritty city of Urbs Umida has attracted no shortage of characters with odd names. The only things perhaps odder than their monikers are the professions they’ve chosen to pursue and the motivations that dictate their interactions with others.

At the center of this dark tableau is a young protagonist named Pin, a mortician’s apprentice whose unsavory duties include keeping a three-day vigil over the recently departed to ensure that they are, in fact, dead as a doornail before they get buried. On one particular night, however, Pin’s views about death are radically altered when he happens to witness the surrealistic machinations of a mysterious older man and his assistant, Juno, who bring a female corpse back to life for a few last words with her grief-stricken fiancé. Plucky Pin is as determined to expose the tricks behind the duo’s charade as he is to clear the name of his missing father, a man whom the poison pen of Deodonatus Snoad has labeled as a serial killer.

Subplots featuring a caged and vicious creature called The Gluttonous Beast, a potato-throwing dwarf, and a charming man who believes that the shape of one’s skull and the presence of bumps can predict criminal behavior give this fast-paced tale plenty of film adaptation potential.

Teens and tweens who have gravitated to the likes of Harry Potter will easily get caught up in the mystical elements, and Higgins does such an effective job at crafting realistic and compelling ambience that you can practically smell the stench of the River Foedus in which hapless victims draw their last breaths.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> When my book club with my daughter Madeleine read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Light-Years-Tammar-Stein/dp/0440239028/ref=pd_sim_b_2"><em><strong>Light Years</strong></em></a> <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>, by Tammar Stein, the timing was great. The girls had been in high school for a year and were looking ahead to college.  <b>Purchase Paxil online no prescription</b>, This story of a young woman who leaves her native Israel to attend college in the U.S. introduced them to the possibilities of what their lives would be like when they left home to go away to a university. The main character, <b>buy Paxil without a prescription</b>, Maya, <b>Buy Paxil online cod</b>, is fleeing memories of her boyfriend killed by a suicide bomber and the guilt she feels that she may have been the one to push the bomber to his action. As the story takes place in Maya's present and her past, we all learned a lot about life in Israel as well as on a college campus, <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>. We had a great discussion about cultural differences between our countries, the concept of spending two years in service to your country after high school, <b>online buying Paxil hcl</b>, and finding a way to continue on with your life in the aftermath of personal tragedy.  <b>Where to buy Paxil</b>, I have not read Tammar's other book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/High-Dive-Tammar-Stein/dp/0375830243/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1259087865&amp;sr=8-1"><em><strong>High Dive</strong></em></a>, yet. But reading the publisher's description made me add it to our possible choices for Catherine's book club, <b>canada, mexico, india</b>. Either way, <b>Buy cheap Paxil</b>, I can't wait to read it myself.</p>
<p><em> <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>, "Arden has a plane ticket to Sardinia to say goodbye to her family’s beloved vacation home after her father’s sudden death and her mother’s deployment to Iraq as an army nurse. Lonely for her father and petrified for her mother’s safety, Arden dreads her trip to the house in Sardinia—the only place that has truly felt like home to her, <b>order Paxil from United States pharmacy</b>. So when she meets a group of fun, <b>Online buy Paxil without a prescription</b>, carefree, and careless friends on their summer break, she decides to put off her trip and join them to sample the sights and culinary delights of Europe, <b>Paxil price, coupon</b>. Soon they are climbing the Eiffel Tower, <b>Paxil for sale</b>, taking in the French countryside on a train chugging toward the Alps, and gazing at Michelangelo’s <span style="text-decoration:underline;">David</span> in Florence, all the while eating gelato and sipping cappuccino, <b>kjøpe Paxil på nett, köpa Paxil online</b>. Arden tries to forget about the danger her mom faces every day, <b>Order Paxil no prescription</b>, to pretend she’s just like the rest of the girls, flirting with cute European guys and worried only about where to party next.<br />
But the house in Sardinia beckons and she has to make a choice, <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>. Is Arden ready to jump off the high dive?"</em></p>
<p>Tammar graciously answered my questions by email from her home in Florida, <b>rx free Paxil</b>. Here's my interview with her:</p>
<p><a href="http://motherdaughterbookclub.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/tammar-stein.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1010" title="Tammar Stein" src="http://motherdaughterbookclub.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/tammar-stein.jpg" alt="" width="378" height="280" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>Can you tell us a little bit about your background and how you decided to become a writer?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> Basically, <b>Online buying Paxil hcl</b>, I love to read. I will read anything, anytime, <b>buy Paxil from mexico</b>, anywhere.  <b>Paxil over the counter</b>, When I was in high school and trying to decide what I wanted to be when I grew up, I figured that I couldn’t be a reader and be paid for it.  <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>, Being a novelist seemed like the next best thing.</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#3366ff;">I know you've lived in several countries and different states as well, <b>buying Paxil online over the counter</b>. Do you have one place you long to go back to and live there again?</span><strong></strong></em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> When I lived in Europe, <b>Purchase Paxil online no prescription</b>, after a couple of years I was very homesick. I missed the US and a lot of the cultural difference that I found cute when I arrived, I suddenly found very irritating, <b>buy Paxil without a prescription</b>. That’s when I knew it was time to come home. But now that I’ve been back in the States for seven years, I’m ready for a new international adventure, <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>.  <b>Paxil samples</b>, <span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>What do you like about living in Florida, and do you think you'll be on the move again anytime soon?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> I love Florida, especially now in November, <b>buy no prescription Paxil online</b>. The high is 82 today.  <b>Where can i buy Paxil online</b>, From late October through late April is just amazing here. The orange trees are heavy with fruit and in February their blossoms fill the air the most amazing scent.</p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>In <strong>Light Years</strong> <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>, , Maya leaves her native Israel after her boyfriend is killed by a suicide bomber to attend college in the U.S. How easy or difficult was it for you to write about two very different cultures?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> It was fun, <b>comprar en línea Paxil, comprar Paxil baratos</b>. People from different cultures will notice things that long time residents just take for granted.  <b>Real brand Paxil online</b>, It’s very illuminated to talk with a foreigner, their different point of view and reference points can make you question the status quo. As a novelist, <b>buy Paxil from canada</b>, bringing in a stranger can help showcase things that otherwise would be awkward to bring up.</p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>What do you see are some of the biggest cultural differences between life in the two countries?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> Well in some ways they’re very similar—progressive and Western, <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>.  <b>Order Paxil from mexican pharmacy</b>, Israelis are more likely to speak their mind, there’s less polite lip-service. There’s a very strong culture of hospitality there, <b>buy generic Paxil</b>, as well.  <b>Where to buy Paxil</b>, If you’re ever invited to an Israeli’s home, you can count on a huge spread—more food that you can possibly eat and a lot of fussing over you.</p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>In Israel, <b>where can i buy cheapest Paxil online</b>, two years of service to the state after high school is mandatory.  <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>, Do you think that idea would ever work here in the U.S..  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa</b>, What do you see as the biggest advantages and disadvantages of mandatory service?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> We all cherish the things we worked hardest for. Being forced to take care of your country, to give up your time and energy and really dedicate yourself to making your country a better, <b>where to buy Paxil</b>, safer place will make people love their country more in the end.  <b>Where can i find Paxil online</b>, I also think that putting off college for 2 years is a good thing. A lot of people just aren’t ready for serious study and a break from high school is just the thing they need for perspective and maturity. The military teaches you discipline and leadership, both are needed qualities for success, <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>.</p>
<p>That said, <b>where can i order Paxil without prescription</b>, I like the European model for mandatory service better.  <b>Buy Paxil online no prescription</b>, You can choose between going into the military or civil service: teaching in schools, working in hospitals, or national parks. The military really isn’t for everyone, this would give everyone a chance to go where they can really shine.</p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>Maya is a strong, independent character in many ways.  Do you see a lot of yourself in her?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>, I don’t know. I think there’s something of me in every character—they came from my brain after all. Maybe the best way to think of it is that Maya is who I could have been if I had made different choices in my life. But so is Arden (from <strong><em>High Dive</em></strong>) and the two of them are very different.</p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>What kind of research did you conduct for <strong>Light Years</strong>?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> I interviewed IDF members, particularly women. I visited Israel several times, <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>. And I read what I could get my hands on regarding Israeli/Palestinian relations, suicide bombers, and grief counseling.</p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>Your second book, <strong>High Dive</strong>, also features a main character who doesn't want to face tragic events in her life. What do you hope to convey to readers about moving beyond tragedy to create a life after an event?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> It’s a hard thing to do. That’s what I find so fascinating about it.  <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>, Julia Glass once said that all great novels deal with the same thing: the heart in conflict with itself. I completely agree with that. How do you get over something traumatic. How do you forgive yourself. How do you trust in the future.  Maya and Arden both stumble, making their way through those minefields, <b>ONLINE Paxil FOR SALE</b>. I think everyone has to find their own way, but friendship and love always help.</p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>Is there anything else you'd like to say to MotherDaughter Book Club.com readers?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>TS:</strong></span> Read. There’s nothing as wonderful as a good book, except a good book you can discuss with your loved ones.</p>
