2018 School Spending Survey Report
>When Frog and Toad Are More Than Friends
>Who needs old closet case Dumbledore when Claire has put together a first-class list of out-n-proud GLBTQ-and-sometimes-Y fiction?I've got an editorial in the upcoming Horn Book about the outing of Dumbledore, who in fact joins a long line of characters who coulda-woulda-shoulda be gay if the reader so inclines--like Shakespeare in Susan Cooper's King of Shadows as we discussed here a few weeks ago.
I've got an editorial in the upcoming Horn Book about the outing of Dumbledore, who in fact joins a long line of characters who coulda-woulda-shoulda be gay if the reader so inclines--like Shakespeare in Susan Cooper's King of Shadows as we discussed here a few weeks ago. Or Harriet the Spy. (Or Sport, Beth Ellen, or Janie.) Betsy and Tacy! Frank and Joe! Nancy and George! Or not, too--the point is that characters become your imaginary friends whose lives, loves, and destinies can become what you need them to be.
I'm reminded of 1965, the momentous year when Barbie became flexible. Durable characters always are.

>在翻译联盟和中国翻译协会深圳翻译公司|联合主办，主题“翻译与多元文化”。这是国际翻译同声传译在亚洲举行的第一次盛会，是促进亚洲翻译界与国际翻译界交流与合作的大好时机。广州翻译公司今年广交会不允许外商自带翻译入场，但还是有很多翻译公司|已有生意合作意向的外商，在全国翻译公司中找外语导游当翻译，进行“场外商贸洽谈”。
同声传译现在上海翻译公司英语、日语、法语等语种导游储备充足，深圳翻译公司|也是随着参加广交会的巴西、西班牙等西班牙语系以及阿拉伯语国家的客商提供深圳翻译大幅增多，使小语种导游产生巨大缺口，其中来自巴西的外商比去年多了翻译公司

>Nice list. Thank you! One more: Kiss by Jacqueline Wilson. Staying best friends gets tricky when he's in thrall to the school soccer star. A typically deft portrait of friendship, difference and compassion.Mike
