 <title>Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah</title>
 <link>http://www.picnet.org/teens/1345</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I think Zephaniah s a talented author and describes the characters that seek refuge from a real life experience. This is a touching and heart warming tale of a family that has been torn apart and forced to leave their country because of war and seeking shelter from an unusual place with different lifestyle and surroundings.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Teen Turkey has a Name!</title>
 <link>http://www.picnet.org/teens/1081</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Congratulations to our winner of the teen turkey naming contest.   Our winner came up with the name &#039;Liverpool&#039; for our beloved turkey who resides at the library a stones throw away from Liverpool road and speaks with a Liverpoolian accent.  However, he does not appreciate any reference/jokes made about turkey livers, especially so close to Thanksgiving.&lt;/p&gt;
