READING RECOMMENDATIONS

Nora, a middle-aged woman, has many regrets and tries to commit suicide. She ends up at the Midnight Library. The library is full of books that detail what her life would have been like had she made different decisions. Nora gets to glimpse what her life would have been like if she had gotten married, or followed a friend to Australia, or became an Olympic athlete or esteemed scientist. 
The "moral of the story" is not too didactic. I enjoyed reading Nora’s journey of sliding in and out of lives that were based on different decisions and what she learned as the result of them.

This book is a great introduction to small and big ways the average person can create less waste. The author stresses that zero waste isn't really possible, but the goal is to make changes that will produce less waste - really focusing on the "reduce" and "reuse" parts of the recycle system.

This adorable middle grade graphic novel is about more than just allergies to pets. It’s also about a girl who is struggling to fit in at school and at home. Maggie is so relatable in this story as you follow her from her allergy diagnosis (it covers allergy testing and shots), to making new friends, and welcoming another sibling to the family. With the help of her parents and new friends, Maggie handles it all with only a few bumps along the way.
I have no doubt you will enjoy this story!
