 I just finished reading a wonderful fantasy novel for the second time: "Foundling (Monster Blood Tattoo book I)," by first time author D.M. Cornish. The book was sent to CCF as a review copy by a Senior Editor at G.P. Putnam's Sons. The paperback edition [ISBN: 0142409138] came out September 6, 2007. This is a young boy's survival story that is sure to grab middle grade students' attention.

Satisfaction, not pleasure, fulfills people
Dec 1, 2005
 "So, which would you rather do today? Sit in front of
a cozy fire, eat bon bons and read a delightfully trashy novel, or go to the office
and work your buns off on a project with mind-boggling difficulties. The second
choice will satisfy you more, says Dr. Gregory Berns, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist
at Atlanta-based Emory University, whose research looked into the physical intricacies
of human brain structure. In his new book Satisfaction:
The Science of True Fulfillment ,
Berns explains why the brain craves the components of satisfaction — novelty and
challenge — more than it does happiness and pleasure."
