Happy Halloween from Domenica Di Piazza, Editorial Director, TFCB!

NEWS FLASH! The October 1, 2010, issue of Booklist includes a list of Top Ten Health series, including three of our series: USA TODAY Health Reports (TFCB), Body Battles (Millbrook), and Health Zone (Lerner). Click on the live links for more information about each of these series.

HALLOWEEN TIP: Try this easy approach to Halloween pumpkins: raid your basement or your junk drawer for old hooks, doorknobs, window latches, and other such paraphernalia. Create a face or other design on the pumpkin with whatever you find. No more laborious carving out of the pumpkin innards and no more knife work. Of course, the junk-drawer pumpkin doesn’t glow at night…..

Enjoy the festive weekend! And check in next week for more from TFCB.
