   “Imagine being beaten for learning to
       read, shackled and whipped for
   learning a few letters of the alphabet.
  Now, imagine a man brave enough to
     risk torture in order to teach others
    how to read; his name is Nightjohn,
  and he sneaks into the slave camps at
      night to teach other slaves how to
                read and write.”

       Drums, Girls, &
       Dangerous Pie
  Thirteen-year-old Steven has a totally
normal life: he plays drums in the All-Star
  Jazz band, has a crush on the hottest
    girl in the school, and is constantly
   annoyed by his five-year-old brother,
  Jeffrey. But when Jeffrey is diagnosed
 with leukemia, Steven's world is turned
  upside down. He is forced to deal with
   his brother's illness and his parents'
attempts to keep the family in one piece.
  Salted with humor and peppered with
 devastating realities, DRUMS, GIRLS,
        AND DANGEROUS PIE is a
 heartwarming journey through a year in
          the life of a family in crisis.
            $7 at Barnes and Noble
Getting the Girl
  Cameron Wolfe is the quiet one in his
family, not a soccer star like his brother
 Steve or a charming fighter with a new
  girl every week like his brother Rube.
Cam would give anything to be near one
 of those girls, to love her and treat her
 right. He especially likes Rube's latest,
   Octavia, with her brilliant ideas and
bright green eyes. But what woman like
     that would want a loser like him?
 Maybe Octavia would, Cam discovers.
  Maybe he'd even have something to
    say. And those maybes change
 everything: winning, loving, losing, the
 Wolfe brothers, and Cameron himself.        Who do I think would like this book?

Free? Stories
          about Human
             Rights
 A boy who thinks that school is "slavery" learns
the true meaning of the word when he stumbles
on a secret child-labor factory. A Palestinian boy,
mute from trauma, releases kites over a wall to a
  hilltop settlement, each bearing a message of
     peace. This inspiring, engaging anthology
    gathers an international roster of authors to
explore such themes as asylum, law, education,
and faith — from a riveting tale of an attempt to
 find drinking water after Hurricane Katrina; to a
 chilling look at a future where microchips track
 every citizen’s every move; to a hilarious police
   interrogation involving the London Tower, the
     Crown Jewels, and a Ghanaian boy with a
            passion for playing marbles.

             Twisted
  High school senior Tyler Miller used to
  be the kind of guy who faded into the
   background. But since he got busted
    for doing graffiti on the school, and
  spent the summer doing outdoor work
     to pay for it, he stands out like you
   wouldn?t believe. His new physique
     attracts the attention of queen bee
  Bethany Milbury, who just so happens
    to be his father?s boss?s daughter,
   the sister of his biggest enemy? and
  Tyler?s secret crush. And that sets off
    a string of events and changes that
     have Tyler questioning his place in
  school, in his family, and in the world.
                                             Available on Amazon for $8
A comedy/sci-fi fantasy about Oliver Watson,
  an overweight 12-year-old from Omaha, NE,
     who fools his family and classmates into
 thinking that he is slow-witted when in fact he
       is the world's third-richest person. He
         overthrows foreign dictators, owns
    corporations, is a successful inventor and
    investor, and is on the way to attaining his
         goal of world domination. This evil
  supergenius, who makes Artemis Fowl look
     ready for sainthood, has the appeal of a
cartoon villain. His father and arch nemesis is
   too involved in running a local PBS affiliate
   and too uninvolved in his son. What Oliver
       really wants is his dad's approval and
  attention. He decides that the way to get this
     is to win the election for president of the
    eighth-grade class at Gale Sayers Middle
  School. Lieb perfectly captures the wise-guy
 sarcasm and trash mouth of a seventh-grade
evil genius. Readers will love the sci-fi/fantasy
touches, from Oliver's elaborate underground
lair to the transmitter implanted in his jaw and
  his installing root beer and chocolate milk at
the school's water fountain (of course, only he
            knows how to make it work).

The Wave
   (Note: Mrs. Mohr HIGHLY recommends
       this book. It is short but impactful).
     The Wave is based on a true incident
      that occured in a high school history
     class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969.
    The powerful forces of group pressure
   that pervaded many historic movements
     such as Nazism are recreated in the
     classroom when history teacher Burt
    Ross introduces a "new" system to his
    students. And before long "The Wave,"
        with its rules of "strength through
       discipline, community, and action, "
   sweeps from the classroom through the
        entire school. And as most of the
       students join the movement, Laurie
    Saunders and David Collins recognize
       the frightening momentum of "The
       Wave" and realize they must stop it
                 before it's too late.

Small Steps
Two years after being released from Camp
  Green Lake, Armpit is home in Austin,
Texas, trying to turn his life around. But it's
     hard when you have a record and
everyone expects the worst from you. The
only person who believe in Armpit is Ginny,
    his ten-year-old disabled neighbor.
 Together, they are learning to take small
                    steps.

 Armpit seems to be on the right path until
 X-Ray, a buddy from Camp Green Lake,
comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme. X-
  Ray's plan leads to a chance encounter
  with teen pop sensation Kaira DeLeon,
   and suddenly Armpit's life spins out of
   control. Only one thing is certain: he'll
         never be the same again.

We Beat the Street
    Growing up on the rough streets of
      Newark, New Jersey, Rameck,
George,and Sampson could easily have
followed their childhood friends into drug
 dealing, gangs, and prison. But when a
  presentation at their school made the
  three boys aware of the opportunities
   available to them in the medical and
  dental professions, they made a pact
    among themselves that they would
     become doctors. It took a lot of
determination—and a lot of support from
     one another—but despite all the
    hardships along the way, the three
                succeeded.

              Amazon $8

Three Little Words
      (True Story)
    An inspiring true story of the tumultuous nine
       years Ashley Rhodes-Courter spent in the
      foster care system, and how she triumphed
    over painful memories and real-life horrors to
              ultimately find her own voice.
     Painful memories of being taken away from
    her home quickly become consumed by real-
    life horrors, where Ashley is juggled between
    caseworkers, shuffled from school to school,
          and forced to endure manipulative,
       humiliating treatment from a very abusive
      foster family. In this inspiring, unforgettable
    memoir, Ashley finds the courage to succeed
    - and in doing so, discovers the power of her
                         own voice.

The Future of Us
 What if you could see how your life
would unfold--just by clicking a button?

     It's 1996, and less than half of all
   American high school students have
  ever used the Internet. Emma just got
    her first computer and an America
Online CD-ROM. Josh is her best friend.
They power up and log on--and discover
 themselves on Facebook, fifteen years
 in the future. Everybody wonders what
their destiny will be. Josh and Emma are
              about to find out.

Stuck in Neutral
 Shawn McDaniel's life is not what it may
   seem to anyone looking at him. He is
     glued to his wheelchair, unable to
   voluntarily move a muscle—he can't
   even move his eyes. For all Shawn's
 father knows, his son may be suffering.
 Shawn may want a release. And as long
 as he is unable to communicate his true
  feelings to his father, Shawn's life is in
                   danger.
    To the world, Shawn's senses seem
 dead. Within these pages, however, we
 meet a side of him that no one else has
     seen—a spirit that is rich beyond
          imagining, breathing life.

Friends with Boys
 Maggie McKay hardly knows what to
     do with herself. After an idyllic
 childhood of homeschooling with her
  mother and rough-housing with her
 older brothers, it’s time for Maggie to
face the outside world, all on her own.
   But that means facing high school
  first. And it also means solving the
 mystery of the melancholy ghost who
      has silently followed Maggie
  throughout her entire life. Maybe it
  even means making a new friend—
   one who isn’t one of her brothers.



Brandon is going to love this book.
 Gerry, it might be your style too!
                                           $10 on Amazon, some used copies

all always have a book that you
       can hardly put down!

Now, imagine a man brave enough to risk torture in order to teach others how to read; his name is Nightjohn, and he sneaks into the slave camps at night to teach other slaves how to read and write.” - Amazon.com (Used copies available for as little as $4)
  • 4. Who do I think will like this? - Jose N - Oscar S Drums, Girls, & Dangerous Pie Thirteen-year-old Steven has a totally normal life: he plays drums in the All-Star Jazz band, has a crush on the hottest girl in the school, and is constantly annoyed by his five-year-old brother, Jeffrey.

A Palestinian boy, mute from trauma, releases kites over a wall to a hilltop settlement, each bearing a message of peace. This inspiring, engaging anthology gathers an international roster of authors to explore such themes as asylum, law, education, and faith — from a riveting tale of an attempt to find drinking water after Hurricane Katrina; to a chilling look at a future where microchips track every citizen’s every move; to a hilarious police interrogation involving the London Tower, the Crown Jewels, and a Ghanaian boy with a passion for playing marbles. Used copies available from Amazon for $6.50 Mrs. Mohr has a copy to lend. First come first Paola, Oscar S, and David would serve! probably enjoy this book.
  • 8. Recommended for… - Naomi - Jose N Twisted High school senior Tyler Miller used to be the kind of guy who faded into the background. But since he got busted for doing graffiti on the school, and spent the summer doing outdoor work to pay for it, he stands out like you wouldn?t believe. His new physique attracts the attention of queen bee Bethany Milbury, who just so happens to be his father?s boss?s daughter, the sister of his biggest enemy? and Tyler?s secret crush. And that sets off a string of events and changes that have Tyler questioning his place in school, in his family, and in the world. Available on Amazon for $8
  • 9. A comedy/sci-fi fantasy about Oliver Watson, an overweight 12-year-old from Omaha, NE, who fools his family and classmates into thinking that he is slow-witted when in fact he is the world's third-richest person. He overthrows foreign dictators, owns corporations, is a successful inventor and investor, and is on the way to attaining his goal of world domination. This evil supergenius, who makes Artemis Fowl look ready for sainthood, has the appeal of a cartoon villain. His father and arch nemesis is too involved in running a local PBS affiliate and too uninvolved in his son. What Oliver really wants is his dad's approval and attention. He decides that the way to get this is to win the election for president of the eighth-grade class at Gale Sayers Middle School. Lieb perfectly captures the wise-guy sarcasm and trash mouth of a seventh-grade evil genius. Readers will love the sci-fi/fantasy touches, from Oliver's elaborate underground lair to the transmitter implanted in his jaw and his installing root beer and chocolate milk at the school's water fountain (of course, only he knows how to make it work). For Zanette & Brandon $6 on Amazon
  • 10. The Wave (Note: Mrs. Mohr HIGHLY recommends this book. It is short but impactful). The Wave is based on a true incident that occured in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969. The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. And before long "The Wave," with its rules of "strength through discipline, community, and action, " sweeps from the classroom through the entire school. And as most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David Collins recognize the frightening momentum of "The Wave" and realize they must stop it before it's too late. Limited copies available on Amazon. Copies at Barnes and Noble for $6 Who would like this? Oscar S., Jose N., Nayeli
  • 11. Small Steps Two years after being released from Camp Green Lake, Armpit is home in Austin, Texas, trying to turn his life around. But it's hard when you have a record and everyone expects the worst from you. The only person who believe in Armpit is Ginny, his ten-year-old disabled neighbor. Together, they are learning to take small steps. Armpit seems to be on the right path until X-Ray, a buddy from Camp Green Lake, comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme. X- Ray's plan leads to a chance encounter with teen pop sensation Kaira DeLeon, and suddenly Armpit's life spins out of control. Only one thing is certain: he'll never be the same again. Available on Amazon from $5-$10 This one is totally for David, but Jose N & Denise will probably like it too
  • 12. We Beat the Street Growing up on the rough streets of Newark, New Jersey, Rameck, George,and Sampson could easily have followed their childhood friends into drug dealing, gangs, and prison. But when a presentation at their school made the three boys aware of the opportunities available to them in the medical and dental professions, they made a pact among themselves that they would become doctors. It took a lot of determination—and a lot of support from one another—but despite all the hardships along the way, the three succeeded. Amazon $8 Recommended for David, Paola, and maybe Jose N
  • 13. Three Little Words (True Story) An inspiring true story of the tumultuous nine years Ashley Rhodes-Courter spent in the foster care system, and how she triumphed over painful memories and real-life horrors to ultimately find her own voice.

In this inspiring, unforgettable memoir, Ashley finds the courage to succeed - and in doing so, discovers the power of her own voice.

  • 15. The Pregnancy Project A true story from a girl who decided to pretend to be pregnant to see how people would treat her. Limited copies available on Amazon for $8 Honestly… I didn’t really have someone specific in mind for this book, but it looked really good.
  • 16. The Future of Us What if you could see how your life would unfold--just by clicking a button? It's 1996, and less than half of all American high school students have ever used the Internet. Emma just got her first computer and an America Online CD-ROM. Josh is her best friend. They power up and log on--and discover themselves on Facebook, fifteen years in the future. Everybody wonders what their destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out. Naomi, Gerry, and Paola might like this. It is by the author of Thirteen Reasons Why.

For all Shawn's father knows, his son may be suffering. Shawn may want a release. And as long as he is unable to communicate his true feelings to his father, Shawn's life is in danger. To the world, Shawn's senses seem dead. Within these pages, however, we meet a side of him that no one else has seen—a spirit that is rich beyond imagining, breathing life.

After an idyllic childhood of homeschooling with her mother and rough-housing with her older brothers, it’s time for Maggie to face the outside world, all on her own.
