Ozarks At Large

Hollywood has a ratings system, as does TV, but how does one determine whether a book or a play is appropriate for them or their family?
Ozarks at Large's Timothy Dennis takes a look back at the past week's stories involving education.
Robert Laurence’s first novel is set in the mid-eighties . . . before cell phones and email. The story centers around the letters one writer sends to friends and how those friends’ lives are (and are not) connected. He’ll read from the book Friday night at Nightbird Books on Dickson Street. He came to our studio and talked with us about the book.


Erin Morgenstern’s novel The Night Circus is her first book. The bestseller is set inside a mysterious circus where almost anything can happen and arrives on the outskirts of town with no warning.
