The Vietnam War in Popular Culture: The Influence of America's Most Controversial War on Everyday Life
A possible option for pop culture studies; less valuable for history-oriented classes. Most high school use will likely be related to class assignments. Consider for large collections.
Traitor to the Throne
Purchase where the first installment is popular, or buy both titles for larger collections.
The Exo Project
This romantic space adventure lacks full development of the characters and the settings. A secondary selection for most libraries.
Long Way North
The distinctive animation style may not draw in every viewer, but the adventurous plot, visual humor, and saturated colors should hold the attention of most. The film does not lend itself to direct curricular tie-ins but is worthy of viewing for enrichment or for discussion of grit, bravery, and perseverance.
Knowledge Encyclopedia: Animal
A beautiful addition to any science classroom, home, or school or public library.
The Scourge
A solid choice for younger teens and those who want a fast- paced dystopian novel without extreme violence.
Ashes
The trilogy conclusion, like the previous installments, is a must-purchase for middle school libraries. It has abundant curricular ties-ins and is enjoyable in its own right for any fan of strong heroines and historical fiction.
91%: A Film About Guns in America
Consider for high school classes where there is enough time to examine one side of a controversial question.
Carve the Mark
The author's name may catch the eye of "Divergent" trilogy fans, but they will find that this book has less romance and more violence. Consider where Marie Lu's "Young Elites" series, Eoin Colfer's "W.A.R.P." books, and Allen Zadoff's "Unknown Assassin" titles are popular.
