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.]
Top Spin
Through excellent productions values, this film points out how far natural talent, excellent coaching, and intense dedication to practice can take a young athlete while not ignoring the painful reality of defeat.
Rebel of the Sands
A readable, middle-of-the-pack "teens save the world" story. Consider for large collections.
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.
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.]
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.
The New Order
Consider purchasing when the trilogy is completed, where teen-themed postapocalyptic fiction is popular.
