The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

by Sherman Alexie

Though I found this title in the young adult section, I highly recommend this book to all readers. A moving tale of a young man, Arnold Spirit, torn between two worlds: the Indian reservation that is the only home he’s ever known and the…

Before We Were Free

Before We Were Free

by Julia Alvarez

Many years ago, I fell in love with the raw poetry found within the pages of Alvarez’s work In the Time of the Butterflies, as it traced the story of the brave Mirabal sisters during the time of the Trujillo regime in the Dominican Repub…

Thirteen Reasons Why

One of my students shared her copy of this Oregon Battle of the Books title, and I found myself engaged immediately. Just as Clay Jensen, the main character in the novel, finds himself swallowed into Hannah Baker’s audio tapes, I found m…

Wishing Upon a Star: A Tale of the Holocaust

Since first meeting Eline seven years ago, I found myself captivated by her tale of survival during the Holocaust. As a parent, I admire the courage it took to hide her son while she faced the harsh reality of life in the concentration c…

Make Lemonade

by Virginia Euwer Wolff

I finished this book in a little less than two hours, a quick read, but very worthwhile. The story is compelling and honest, plus I’ve always been interested in reading what Oregon authors have to offer. Virginia Euwer Wolff impressed me…

The Hunger Games

by Suzanne Collins

After hearing rave reviews, not to mention seeing Parker thoroughly engrossed in the story during SSR this week, I decided to give the series a try. Incredible! I savored each and every word, and I am left sitting on the couch wanting mo…

In the Shadow of Death: A Young Girl’s Survival In the Holocaust

You Are Not Here

by Samantha Schutz

Another great read thanks to Mariah who always brings me books worth reading. Though I expected, after reading the jacket, to find myself enmeshed in a tear-jerker, I found myself oddly at ease as Annaleah’s tale of young love and sudden…
