Graceling

I'm a writer for young people and I read a lot of juvenile fiction. I recently read Graceling by Kristin Cashore. What a treat! Cashore uses language richly, creates a believable alterna-world, and provides deft surprises. Her characters are unique and have made diehard fans. I left it on my 14-year-old daughter's bed after I finished it and am looking forward to discussing it with her.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
