READING RECOMMENDATIONS
by Fredrik Backman

Submitted by Kelly K.
A funny, witty, and wise book filled with quirky characters thrown together in an absurd situation. How does a would-be bank robber, who escapes into a real estate open house and takes the group hostage, simply disappear with the police and media watching? You will chuckle along with the tale of complete strangers who are thrown together in extremely unexpected and unusual circumstances. As each life story unfolds, we learn the power of hope, forgiveness, friendship, and, maybe most importantly, understanding one another. 
by Henry Louis Gates Jr.

This book serves as the companion to the new PBS TV series of the same name.
Dr. Gates describes the history of the Black church in America and its role in the Black community. Readers will learn how the church was a center for the civil rights movement and activism.
Readers with an interest in Black history and/or religious history will find this book interesting and well researched.

If your young child is more interested in picking up a game controller than a book, perhaps a book loaded with great illustrations on every page about a video game will do the trick. 
Kids will feel as if they stepped into a game reading this series.
