Junior Skeptic magazine Jonathan Abrams of the Skeptic North blog (and of the Reality Check podcast and Ottawa Skeptics) selects Junior Skeptic's "The Shocking Secret of Thetis Lake" as the best skeptical print article of 2009!

"Between you and me, the little insert at the back of every Skeptic Magazine called 'Junior Skeptic' is my favourite part of the magazine. I know, I know, it's for kids. So what? Loxton covers each issue's topic with a style and depth that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike…"

Junior Skeptic magazine Very nice review of Junior Skeptic from recent issue of Secular Homeschooling Magazine. "Each JS is a themed piece — a thoughtful, informative, and deeply entertaining essay, broken up into bite-sized pieces for ease of reading but still a cohesive whole. The writing is age-appropriate without ever slipping into condes...cension. The authors assume, rightly, that simple and direct language is the best way to communicate with readers of any age."

I had no idea there was a Secular Homeschooling Magazine. My kids go to virtual school at home through Connections Academy and most people assume it's because we have religious reasons.
