Library Book Look

For our featured BOOK LOOK books for April, please consider taking a good read of:

A Bird in the Air Means We Can Still Breathe by Mahogany L. Browne. This book tells many stories from different characters' viewpoints as they navigate through the pandemic with many mixed emotions. It’s an interesting presentation of teens in a city and the serious issues they face.

The Ones We’re Meant to Be by Joan He, This SciFi, offers readers a challenge as two close teenage sisters are unexplainably separated. One is trapped in a new time zone in a futuristic earth. They try to survive as well as find each other again. It’s a twisting plot and will leave you with a range of emotions.
