Great Reads
Smart Kids Who Hate to Write Directed by Francine Rivers Recommended by Katie McGrath LC4704 .S63 2010
Do you know a smart child who seems lazy, sloppy, or unmotivated? There is a strong chance he or she is none of these, but rather suffering from a correctable writing glitch called dysgraphia, the most common learning block that gifted children have.
What We’re Loving Now
The Bang Bang Club
Written by Greg Marinovich and JoĂŁo Silva Recommended by Seth Shaffer HN801.Z9 V546 2000 This book follows a group of photographers who band together while covering the end of apartheid in South Africa. This remarkable memoir looks at rivalry, comradeship, and exhilaration experienced by the young photographers. If you are interested in photography, this book is a must read.
