“The present-day gun violence we are witnessing in the USA motivated Karen Joy Fowler to write the extraordinary book Booth. She cleverly focuses on the entire Booth family instead of just John Wilkes Booth, as they were a huge part of American society due to their theater appearances in the 19th century. The Booths are a distraught family with a legacy of depression and alcoholism mixing with opposing loyalties regarding the Civil War. This results in dysfunction and ultimately the assassination of Lincoln. This is a captivating historical fiction that has modern-day implications if one chooses to see the connections.”

“Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl fans rejoice! There’s a new entry in the eerie, slightly bent, odd-ball middle-grade spooky stories. The Sinister Summer series by Kiersten White splashes down with Wretched Waterpark following the adventures of the aptly named Sinister-Winterbottom twins and their teen-aged sister who are dropped off at the worst waterpark on the planet for a week. They must navigate the Fathoms of Fun with its black beach towels, coffin-like boats, and cabanas that look like mausoleums. Why are people disappearing into the dark caverns of the Wave Pool? Who wants to take a boat ride on the River Styx? Keylor Leigh’s delightful narration skillfully captures this clever, ooky, spooky mystery.”

“In this series of essays, Isaac Fitzgerald examines his past and considers how his experiences have shaped him into the man he is today. Isaac’s voice is extraordinary. He tells these stories so beautifully and his perspective as well as his capacity for grace and understanding are true gifts. This memoir is full of love as well as some gut punches and was impossible to put down.”

“Bitch: On the Female of the Species takes a humorous but thoroughly researched look at evolution and nature, and (I think) fairly successfully demolishes the stale and sexist myths of a male dominated animal kingdom once and for all. Cooke highlights research done by scientists of all genders to show that moving forward is a new world of thought, working hard to question everything the patriarchal establishment has entrenched as dogma over the centuries. Here, females have their day, their spotlight, as scientists try to learn more and show us what their lives are like, asking the reader to question what they think they know about the world around them, including what it means to be 'female.' If you love animals, science, or want to learn about a new avenue of feminism, you absolutely need to read Bitch: On the Female of the Species.”
