For the ¿Cómo Vives? Art display, one-hundred elementary through high school students from Carver School for Visual and Performing Arts, Louis W. Fox Technical High School, and The Healing Arts Project responded to Diana Guerrero-Maciá's fabric paintings of found objects on view at Artpace Gallery  from January 27 through April 17, 2005.

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause
Vivian Gandillon relishes the change, the sweet fierce ache that carries her from girl to wolf.   At sixteen she is beautiful and strong - but her life is in turmoil - her pack is leaderless since the death of her father and she feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland. Then she falls in love with a human boy.  Moving between two worlds, she does not seem to belong in either. What is she really - human or beast? Which tastes sweeter - blood or chocolate?
Snack: Chocolate Mini-bites and Blood Red Punch

Blue Wolf by Catherine Creedon

As he explores the wilderness, he begins to have some strange experiences -- the sensation of wolves nipping at his heels when he is running, and the strong sense that he is connected to a pack of wolves that lurk around the cabin. As the mystery of the wolves unravels, Jamie realizes that he has been given a unique ability to transform himself into a wolf.

The Other Ones by Jean Thesman

She is the only one who has the power to help Althea, or to hurt her . . . .
