"Featuring the colorful protagonists Willowjean “Will” Parker, a scrappy circus runaway, and Lillian Pentecost, New York’s best and most unorthodox private investigator, this is a wonderfully unique take on the Sherlock Holmes and Watson dynamic set in 1940's New York City."

-- Reed, Library Specialist

"A beautifully written gothic horror where you hope the evil triumphs instead of the family haunted by it! As each family member hammers another nail into Anna's coffin, she proves herself as the black sheep, not the lost lamb. "

-- Nick, Library Specialist

"This is a great book with real-world examples showing how empathy is a trait that can be learned and improved, and it isn't something that's hard to do, either. Zaki here gives readers a roadmap for improving our ability to care for others in a world that seems to have all but forgotten how or why we should show empathy. This is a must read for anyone feeling disheartened with the state of the universe right now. "

-- Jake, Communications Coordinator

"This beautiful story encapsulates so many factors of life, from the representation of the monster, to struggling to interact with others while dealing with your own burdens. The Deep Dark does a fantastic job of approaching it all."

-- Chris, Library Clerk

"An adventure of a story, part memoir, part exploration of the life and times of taxonomist David Starr Jordan, it has everything you could want in a book, heartbreak, humor, knowledge, nature, and possibly a murder! What more could you ask for in such a short book?"

-- Amanda, Library Specialist
