NoveList in GALILEO provides information (reviews, reading levels, etc)and ideas for Teaching with Fiction. NoveList has 6 of Ms. Deedy's books listed. The link to WorldCat appears after you've selected the title from the list.

Book Index with Reviews (also through GALILEO) notes 38 titles by Ms. Deedy. BIR has a link to WorldCat right next to the title in the list.

The WorldCat link is very handy for finding the closest library that has the title you're looking for!

You know who can give you the password to use GALILEO at home - your Georgia librarian.
