Wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. My kids and I found it a great introduction to Lincoln's early life as well as a very enjoyable read.

Take It Back
by Kia Abdullah

book cover


This is a fascinating novel, especially given Ms. Abdullah 's Muslim heritage. My heart went out to the main character, Jodie, who faces so many challenges along with heartbreaking abuse and neglect , yet manages to somehow behave with composure and a certain amount of nobility. Every character in this story has flaws, and yet this very fact makes the story even more compelling. I was impressed at Ms Abdullah 's unflinching portrayal of many Muslim countries treatment of women and the culture clash when this way of life interacts with Western society. The story will keep you guessing as to who is telling the truth until the last few pages. Excellent, compelling writing!

The Searcher
by Tana French
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is an excellent start to a new series by Tana French. The two main characters: mysterious teenager Trey Reddy and retired, emotionally scared Cal Hooper are especially appealing. At first Cal doesn't know what to make of Trey. He isn't even certain if she is male or female. She dresses in androgenous clothes and reveals nothing about her life. All he knows is Trey is persistent. Once she learns he was a detective, she is determined to enlist Cal's help in finding her beloved older brother, one of the few people in Trey's life who has shown her kindness. The novel shows the insularity of rural Irish life where villagers close ranks even when something very bad has occurred. This is a wonderful mystery which slowly develops the friendship and trust between Trey, whose home life is blighted by a mother who can barely cope and an absent, ner'do-well father. The ending and the reasons for the "murder" are beyond tragic. The prose is poetic and fitting for the lyricism of the Irish countryside.
