This I Believe
The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women
Jay Allison and Dan Gediman, eds.
Holt Paperbacks
"To hold this range of beliefs in the palm of your hand is as fine, as grounding, as it was hearing them first on the radio. Heartfelt, deeply cherished beliefs, doctrines for living (yet none of them doctrinaire). Ideas and ideals that nourish. You can see it in their faces, in the photos in this book. And read it in their words. I'm so proud that NPR helped carry this Edward R. Murrow tradition into a new century. And so glad to have it in print, to encounter again and again."—

Speak
Laurie Halse Anderson
Square Fish
“A frightening and sobering look at the cruelty and viciousness that pervade much of contemporary high school life, as real as today’s headlines. . . . The plot is gripping and the characters are powerfully drawn . . . a novel that will be hard for readers to forget.”—

Nylon Road
A Graphic Memoir of Coming of Age in Iran
Parsua Bashi
St. Martin's Griffin
"What [
Nylon Road
] really reveals is how little the two cultures really know about each other, let alone being able to understand and sympathize with each other. It’s an eye-opening book, particularly in the treatment of women in Iran . . . But while portraying these events from her past, Bashi also speaks up about ways in which Europeans or Americans are insensitive or unfair . . . The book is worth reading, if for no other reason than that there’s very little like this, and it takes guts to describe a difficult life with such honesty and candor. If everyone had access to more books like
Nylon Road
, then perhaps we would have an easier time taking somebody else’s perspective into account."—

Grammar Girl Presents the Ultimate Writing Guide for Students
Mignon Fogarty; illustrations by Erwin Haya
St. Martin's Griffin
"
The Ultimate Writing Guide for Students
[goes] beyond vocabulary into grammar and the structure of writing. But it's not a dry, boring reference. From its bright orange theme color to its tips sprinkled throughout to its 'Grammar Schmammar' intro, this guide is both informative and user-friendly. The book starts with the basics—parts of speech—then moves on to sentences, punctuation and tips on common pitfalls. It ends with a great pep-talk chapter that offers tips and examples on how to clarify and streamline writing, getting over writer's block, and editing and proofing your work. It's all done in a light, friendly style with copious examples of what to do, and focuses much more on doing than on not-doing."—

Fifty Miles from Tomorrow
A Memoir of Alaska and the Real People
William L. Iggiagruk Hensley
Picador
"With this book, Hensley, an Inuit who has spent much of his life advocating on behalf of the Iñupiaq, offers both a rich and engrossing narrative of his own life and a valuable resource in the effort to understand and protect the culture and history of Alaska Natives . . . Remembering his childhood, Hensley writes simply but in vivid detail of the hardships of daily life as well as of his deep love of family and traditional culture . . . From an early age, Hensley recognized the conscious efforts of educators and missionaries to 'isolate children from their cultures.' He carried this sense of injustice with him when he left Alaska to pursue his education in the Lower 48 and ultimately became an indefatigable champion of native rights . . . Hensley continues his efforts to preserve and protect his native culture with this deeply respectful and clear-eyed book . . . truly a window into the real Alaska."—

Feynman
By Jim Ottaviani, illustrated by Leland Myrick
First Second
"In every picture, bubbles of text record Feynman's comments, mostly taken from stories he and others have told and published in earlier books . . . These images capture with remarkable sensitivity the essence of Feynman's character . . . Some western readers commonly use the Japanese word
manga
to mean serious comic-book literature. According to one of my Japanese friends, this usage is wrong . . . The correct word for serious comic-book literature is
gekiga
, meaning 'dramatic picture.' The Feynman picture-book is a fine example of
gekiga
for Western readers."—

Fall for Anything
Courtney Summers
St. Martin's Griffin
"Eddie’s father, a brilliant but reclusive photographer, has killed himself, and Eddie is struggling for answers far beyond the one-line note her father left behind. Each night, she sneaks out her window, down the roof, and away from home. Sometimes she hangs out with her friend Milo—with whom she has trouble connecting since the suicide—but most often she goes to the old, abandoned warehouse where her father ended his life, wandering in the dark and looking for something to explain his actions. What she finds there is Culler, a photography student of her father’s, who is also searching for answers and whom Eddie latches onto as a last hope for understanding. Culler shows Eddie what he has discovered—her dad’s initials carved into a door at the warehouse—then leads her on a quest to find more markings and messages, stalking the desolate places where her father took his final photographs. This novel is mysterious, romantic, and excruciating in its suspense, as both the reader and Eddie know that something is not quite right for a long time before the pieces fall into place. And fall they do, in an emotional culmination that shakes Eddie to the core. Both hauntingly written and compulsively readable, this will be a fast favorite with readers."—

The Chosen One
A Novel
Carol Lynch Williams
St. Martin's Griffin
"The novel has one of the most compelling opening lines possible and for many young readers this will be their first experience reading about the dark aspects of polygamy . . . This is, however, much more than just a ‘flight from polygamy’ novel. Kyra is a strong young woman who finds strength and solace in the books she gets from the Ironton County Bookmobile. Through Kyra, Williams raises questions that each of us must answer—when do we depart from the tenets of our parents to do what we think is right for ourselves?"—
