description
Bernard Marx becomes a citizen in an utopian World-State where babies are born in laboratories, there is no violence, all citizens take drugs for depression, and contentment overrides the free will of the populace, and presents the social climate in 1958, and the threats against personal freedoms that seemed to be pre-cursers to the novel's empty civilization. - North High, Destiny

Benefits of Reading Books

Lynn_Will — 2020-10-08 14:24:59 UTC

1. READING MAKES YOU MORE EMPATHETIC

Reading is a way to escape your own life, and can take you to faraway lands, other times, and put you in other people’s shoes. By viewing the world from a point of view that is not your own, you become more empathetic.

2. READING KEEPS YOUR BRAIN HEALTHY

Just as exercise helps your body stay healthier longer, reading is an exercise that helps keep your brain fit. As they say, use it or lose it!

3. READING REDUCES STRESS

If you could reduce your stress levels in under ten minutes by doing something you enjoy, would you? A popular study done by the University of Sussex showed that “stress levels declined by 68 percent after participants read for just six minutes” (3). A good book transports you to another place where your own stresses don’t exist, allowing you to relax.

4. READING HELPS YOU SLEEP BETTER

In this time of constant technological connection, our sleep is suffering. The blue light emitted from screens disrupts melatonin levels. By checking “one last email” you are waking your brain up when you should be relaxing. Then there is the stress of reading the news. As we now know, reading a book helps you to relax.

Lynn_Will — 2020-10-12 19:47:44 UTC

A cross between The Fault in Our Stars and Everything, Everything.
Five Feet Apart
by Rachael Lippincott; with Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis
Seventeen-year-olds Stella and Will, both suffering from cystic fibrosis, realize the only way to stay alive is to stay apart, but their love for each other is slowly pushing the boundaries of physical and emotional safety. - North High, Destiny
Seventeen-year-old Stella spends most of her time in the hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient. Her life is full of routines, boundaries and self-control -- all of which get put to the test when she meets Will, an impossibly charming teen who has the same illness. There's an instant flirtation, though restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between them. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace that attraction. - Plot summary of Five Feet Apart. IMDb, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6472976/.

Ms. Henselin enjoyed Natasha Preston's book entitled The Cellar

jennifer_hensel — 2020-10-29 14:16:11 UTC

A group of girls are taken against their will by a man who is determined to never let them them go, forcing them to live locked in a cellar. It's a story about doing whatever it takes to survive, even if it's traumatizing. I couldn't stop reading; it was horrifyingly mesmerizing!

House of Purple Cedar

teri_rucinsky — 2020-11-16 15:29:17 UTC

Winner of the 2016 American Indian Youth Literature Award, this book is sure to get you thinking. The review is from Kirkus Reviews (November 1, 2013), "In Tingle's (How I Became a Ghost, 2013, etc.) haunting novel, the Trail of Tears is a memory, but the Choctaw people of Oklahoma still confront prejudice and contempt. It's 1896. At Skullyville settlement, New Hope Academy for Girls has been destroyed by fire. Twenty Choctaw girls die. Tingle's story spans the months following the fire as experienced by Rose Goode, a student. Rose goes home to her parents and to beloved Pokoni and Amafo, her grandparents. Shortly thereafter, Amafo visits Spiro, a town nearby, with Rose and her little brother. There, he's viciously assaulted by town marshal Robert Hardwicke, who'sin a drunken rage. That night, Choctaw people gather, both fearing attack and planning revenge. But then, stoic, dignified Amafo says, "I will do this, speak friendly words to him and tip my hat to him, till one day he will turn away from me and they will see who is afraid." In quiet, often poetic language drawn from nature's images and from Choctaw ethos, Tingle sketches Amafo, a marvelous character both wise and loving. Tingle writes of cultures clashing, certainly, but hatred fromnahullos(whites) like Hardwicke is counterbalanced by the goodwill of others like John Burleson, railroad stationmaster, and one-legged store clerk Maggie Johnston. Despite assimilating elements of white culture, including Christianity, Tingle's Choctaws maintain mystical connections to the land and its creatures. Thetale is ripe with symbolism and peopled by riveting characters. A lyrical, touching tale of love and family, compassion and forgiveness."

Tales of the Mighty Code Talkers

teri_rucinsky — 2020-11-16 15:31:44 UTC

This Graphic Novel and winner of the 2018 American Indian Youth Literature Award is a quick and captivating read that includes bibliographical references.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

teri_rucinsky — 2020-11-16 15:47:19 UTC

This title is a little controversial. Depending on who you ask, some love the story and feel that it represents the Native American Culture well. Others say it should be banned because the author, Sherman Alexie, isn't an advocate for Native American authors and their rights, but rather has used his fame to put them down. Read it and tell us your thoughts!

Killer of Enemies

teri_rucinsky — 2020-11-16 15:48:56 UTC

Winner of the 2014 American Indian Youth Literature Award. According to Burkam from Horn Book Magazine (2014), "A deadly assassin with extrasensory powers that help her locate her adversaries, Lozen works as a monster-killer, taking out genetically modified superbeasts--giant bloodthirsty eagles, the vampiric Bloodless, a colossal anaconda--that escaped captivity after the Cloud wiped out all of Earth's electronics. Named for a warrior-woman forebear, Lozen calls on tribal tales from her Apache-Chiricahua ancestors for inspiration in outthinking the creatures. Her mother, brother, and sister are being held hostage to ensure her continued service to the elite Ones controlling Haven, a prison-turned-fortress in the Sonoran desert. Lozen has vowed to get her family out, but without a new fortress to go to, her family could easily become lunch for the creatures Lozen is sent to kill. Bruchac devises ever-more-dangerous battles for his protagonist and intersperses them with steadily worsening conditions on the home front, upping the stakes in the increasingly suspenseful story. What really makes the narrative vibrate is Lozen's sardonic voice, capturing both gallows humor and a very human vulnerability. Admirers of kick-🤬 heroines such as Katniss Everdeen will definitely want to see more of Lozen, and, since Bruchac ends with a pause rather than a period, a sequel is a tantalizing possibility."

The Round House

teri_rucinsky — 2020-11-16 15:52:29 UTC

This title won the Alex Award in 2013 and is a National Book Award Finalist. According to Booklist starred (August 2012 (Vol. 108, No. 22)), "In her intensely involving fourteenth novel, Erdrich writes with brio in the voice of a man reliving the fateful summer of his thirteenth year. The son of a tribal judge, Bazil, and a tribal enrollment specialist, Geraldine, Joe Coutts is an attentively loved and lucky boy—until his mother is brutally beaten and raped. Erdrich’s profound intimacy with her characters electrifies this stunning and devastating tale of hate crimes and vengeance, her latest immersion in the Ojibwe and white community she has been writing about for more than two decades. As Joe and his father try to help Geraldine heal and figure out who attacked her and why, Erdrich dissects the harsh realities of an imperiled yet vital culture and unjust laws reaching back to a tragedy in her earlier novel The Plague of Doves (2008). But it is Joe’s awakening to the complexities and traumas of adult life that makes this such a beautifully warm and wise novel.Through Joe’s hilarious and unnerving encounters with his ex-stripper aunt, bawdy grandmothers, and a marine turned Catholic priest; Joe’s dangerous escapades with his loyal friends; and the spellbinding stories told by his grandfather, Mooshum, a favorite recurring character, Erdrich covers a vast spectrum of history, cruel loss, and bracing realizations. A preeminent tale in an essential American saga. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Best-selling Erdrich’s exceptional new novel will be actively promoted with a national tour and a coordinated blog tour as well as extensive print, radio, and social-media appearances."

Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer

Lynn_Will — 2021-02-02 23:00:21 UTC

Midnight Sun is the latest book from the Twilight series. If you are a fan of the series, be aware, that this book is different than the rest of the series. This is written from the point of view of one of the main character's, Edward from the series. It brings you back to the start of the series and it is interesting to see the way the author has Edward view the same situations from the original Twilight book. Although it takes some getting used to reading from the different viewpoint, I think that anyone who enjoyed the Twilight series will also enjoy this book. Don't let the thickness of it scare you away!

* National Book Award winner
* Michael L. Printz Award winner
* Pura Belpré Award winner
Amazon review: Fans of Jacqueline Woodson, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds will fall hard for this astonishing New York Times-bestselling novel-in-verse by an award-winning slam poet, about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth.

Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking.

But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about.

With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems.

Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent.
