True! I helped out at the K-3 school last year and we ran out of Smile because so many kids wanted it.

The Nancy Clancy series is amazing!!

I read a YA book set in Jersey where there is a main plot point where the main character is criticized for not getting her driver's license...at 16! I'm still angry years later.

I've seen everything except Kids of Degrassi Street, and I love all of it, but I'm most obsessed with Next Generation.

One thing I do like about it is the cursing. It's very accurately placed in the dialogue so they sound like actual teens. If this were a network show it wouldn't work as well.

It has been taking forever for libraries to get books from Baker and Taylor so that's probably the hold up for NYPL. I can't imagine they wouldn't have bought your latest.
