.hack// Another Birth Volume 1
This book was amazing and I can not wait to get the second one. I loved
the plot twists because I thought I knew what was going to happen but I
was so wrong. This book just pulled me in and I could not stop reading
it, so I read the whole thing in one day. Everyone that is into any form
of manga should try this series out. It is very important to
read the postscript though so don't forget it. This book would get a 100
on a scale of 1 - 10. That is how good this book is. The only draw back is that there are a few typos, but this is normal for a first run of a series. This book is targeted for young adult readers. Your teenagers will love this book for teens.

If You Lived at the Time of Martin Luther King
Updated from the 1990 edition, this well-written, historically rich text
deserves a spot in every school and public library collection. In the
attempt to paint a portrait of key events, people, and beliefs
associated with the civil rights movement in America, Levine refuses to
oversimplify, conceal, or glorify. She is honest in the telling, sharing
vividly but not gratuitously the physical and emotional violence that
resulted in the attempt to enact equality in the United States—from the
Birmingham church bombings to the attempts by Bull Connor to break up a
children's protest using water hoses and attack dogs. Levine defines and
provides contextual information for difficult concepts (segregation and
nonviolent direct action, for example) and reveals lesser-known
historical truths to fill in the gaps often existent in classroom
textbooks. Readers learn, for instance, that teenager Claudette Colvin
paved the way for Rosa Parks by first refusing to give up her seat on
the bus and that President Kennedy gained support from black voters in
his support of Martin Luther King, Jr. The illustrations capture well
the strong emotions experienced by those on all sides, leaving readers
sometimes uncomfortable but always inspired to think carefully and
critically. The text is organized by key questions, making it easy to
navigate, and ends with a time line of important events, list of places
to visit, and music and lyrics to "We Shall Overcome."

(Crime Scene Science) The Body as Evidence
If there is one subject that keeps kids interested, it is science. They seem to be fascinated by all the aspects of this. In this kids book we turn to forensic science. There has been a murder. A victim is pronounced dead. The police have sealed off the crime scene and called in the Medical Examiner, this gives it the realistic feel of how things are really done. The author gives all the facts needed in a magazine style layout. Every page is loaded with awesome pictures and sidebar notes. This poses a great challenge to make your child think like a crime scene scientist. This was a great read and keeps your mind turning throughout. The reading level for this kids book is ages 9-12.
