Hatchet

book cover


As a former teacher, a mom, and now a grandmother I have read many children’s books. I chose this book because it’s on my grandsons summer reading list. It is filled with adventures. I had a hard time putting the book down. It has made me want to read the rest of the books about Brian. This book is a realistic fiction. It is based on many of the real adventures Gary Paulson experienced.

Harlem Rhapsody
by Victoria Christopher Murray
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Harlem Rhapsody is a well-researched historical novel that brings to light the thriving, Black American cultural community in 1920a Harlem despite the racial, political, economic, social and cultural oppression Black people faced from the White majority. The novel tells the story of trailblazing author and literary editor Jessie Redmon Fauset, whose work to promote and elevate talented Black writers and artists (including such iconic writes as Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen) was mostly lost to history. Murray's novel is part of a renewed effort to bring Redmon Fauset's contribution to the Black cultural revolution of the 1920s to light. The similarities of the racial, social, cultural struggles of the 1920s depicted in the novel to that which is happening today is not unnoticed by the reader.

Persepolis
by Marjane Satrapi
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Marjane shares her experience of living in Iran as a child during the Islamic revolution in graphic novel form. Her story is both heartbreaking and hopeful, as we see her parents (and Marjane) find joy in small rebellions but also see friends and neighbors lose freedoms and their lives. It does a great job of showing how quickly these things can happen and feels particularly prescient in this moment in American history. It’s a quick but harrowing read; make it part of your 250th anniversary celebration as a reminder of what could happen, and as inspiration of what is worth fighting for.

Skylark

A beautiful story of two time periods in France. Both stories were engaging and they left each section wanting to read on. I wish the stories tied up more together in the end.
