Nightfall
An additional selection for large collections. ["A mildly satisfying, stand-alone read for middle school horror lovers": SLJ 8/15 review of the Putnam book.]
The Brain with David Eagleman
Eagleman's delivery style sometimes expands 30 minutes of solid information into a 60-minute segment. New discoveries and research (about mirror neurons or brain tumors, for example) will likely mean material is quickly outdated, giving this a short shelf life for educational use.
This Little Light of Mine: The Legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer
An informative film on a less well-known figure in the civil rights movement. However, this program may not fit all budgets.
Rebel of the Sands
A readable, middle-of-the-pack "teens save the world" story. Consider for large collections.
JFK & LBJ: A Time for Greatness
An excellent behind-the-scenes look at the politics of the Civil Rights Act. Consider for high school history and humanities classes.
Like No Other
Hush, by Eishes Chayil (Walker Children's, 2012) packs a harder punch, but is not available as an audiobook. A good choice for most high school libraries. ["This is an effective romance with light touches of humor and serious drama": SLJ 6/14 review of the Razorbill book.]
The New Order
Consider purchasing when the trilogy is completed, where teen-themed postapocalyptic fiction is popular.
Space Hostages
Alice is a spunky heroine, and the story combines otherworldly adventures with a kind and hopeful message. This book can stand alone but will be most appreciated where the first volume has found an audience.
