memoIR

= 6th grade

“Inspirational .” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Honest, touching, and beautifully rendered . . . . Far more than a book about

baseball, it is a deeply felt story of triumph and failure, dreams and disappointments .

Jim Abbott has hurled another gem .” —Jonathan Eig, author of Luckiest Man

= 6th grade

“Marcus Samuelsson tells a story that reaches past racial and national divides to the foundations of family, hope, and

downright good food .” —President Bill Clinton

“The pleasures of this memoir are numerous . Marcus Samuelsson’s life, like

his cooking, reflects splendidly multicultural influences and educations, and he writes

about it all with an abundance of flavor and verve . A delicious read .”

—Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

“A story of how to fight, overcome and, ultimately, thrive .” —Newsday

Imperfect an Improbable Lifeby Jim abbott and tim Brown

Born without a right hand, Jim Abbott dreamed of someday being a great athlete. Raised in Flint, Michigan,

by parents who encouraged him to compete, Jim would become an ace pitcher for the University of Michigan. But his journey was only beginning: By age twenty-one, he had won the gold medal baseball game at the 1988 Olympics and cracked the starting rotation of the California Angels. In 1991, he would finish third in the voting for the Cy Young Award. Two years later, he would don Yankee pinstripes and pitch one of the most dramatic no-hitters in major-league history. With a riveting pitch-by-pitch account of his no-hitter providing the ideal frame for his story, Imperfect is truly an extraordinary and unforgettable memoir that will inspire students to pursue their goals despite the challenges in their lives.

This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations. Yes, Chef chronicles Samuelsson’s journey, from his grandmother’s kitchen to his arrival in New York City, where he fulfilled his dream of creating a truly diverse, multiracial dining room in his Harlem restaurant Red Rooster. It is a place where an orphan from Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, living in America, can feel at home.

“[A] taut-muscled, teeth-chattering story that keeps the reader glued to the pages .” —Associated Press

odd thomasby dean Koontz

“the dead don’t talk. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert

town serving as their reluctant confidant. Meet Odd Thomas, the unassuming young hero of Dean Koontz’s dazzling New York Times bestseller.

Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it’s different. A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny, converge, is a testament by which to live—an unforgettable fable for our time destined to rank among Dean Koontz’s most enduring works.

World War Z: an oral History of the Zombie Warby max Brooks

at long last, here is the gripping, fictional history of the Zombie War, which came unthinkably close to

eradicating humanity. Author Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of 30 million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, reality of that dreadful time. World War Z is the imaginative, astonishing result.

Can one girl unite two worlds?

seraphinaby Rachel Hartman

Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the

kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty’s anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high.

Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen’s Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect her own secret, the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life.

miss peregrine’s Home for peculiar Childrenby Ransom Riggs

this is an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a

horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.

A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, this book will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

the Age of Miracles is a spellbinding novel of catastrophe and survival, growth and change, the story of Julia and her family as

they struggle to live in an extraordinary time. On an ordinary Saturday, Julia awakes to discover that something

has happened to the rotation of the earth. The days and nights are growing longer and longer; gravity is affected; the birds, the tides, human behavior, and cosmic rhythms are thrown into disarray. In a world of danger and loss, Julia faces surprising developments in herself, and in her personal world—divisions widening between her parents, strange behavior by her friends, the vulnerability of first love, a sense of isolation, and a rebellious new strength.

the dog stars: a novelby peter Heller

Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife gone, he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog,

and his only neighbor is a gun-toting misanthrope. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life—something like his old life—exists beyond the airport. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return—not enough fuel to get him home—following the trail of the static-broken voice on the radio. But what he encounters and what he must face—in the people he meets, and in himself—are both better and worse than anything he could have hoped for.

So when he dies, far too young, of a mysterious illness her mother can barely speak about, June’s world is turned upside down. But Finn’s death brings a surprise acquaintance into June’s life—someone who will help her to heal, and to question what she thinks she knows about Finn, her family, and even her own heart.
