Poetry
Dog Songs
by Mary Oliver
"My favorite poetry book. On the surface it is a collection of poems about dogs the author has known and loved, but it is so much more. An exploration of love and loss, what it means to be wild, and to be human. Uplifting and heart breaking. A beautiful celebration, of connection and the things that make a life whole."

Fantasy
Gregor the Overlander

"A great book to read if you enjoyed The Hunger Games. The beginning of the adventure for eleven-year old Gregor who is watching his little sister during the summer. His adventure in the Underland gives him a chance to find out what happened to his father who went missing two years prior. "

Fiction
The Saturday Night Ghost Club
by Craig Davidson
"There's so much more to this book than you'd assume by its cover. It is easily one of my favorites! An adult brain surgeon is reflecting on spooky childhood experiences and reveals how vulnerable our minds can be!"
