The Courageous One

By Austin B.

Pakistan and other Middle East countries worthy boys in their culture as one girl wants to change that perspective forever. (You are right, this is not a complete sentence.)

A Taste of the Rainbow

By Tyler C. (AKA, Skittles)

"Raising My Rainbow" is a non-fiction book written by Lori Duron about her and her family's adventures in raising a son who likes... girl things. A lot. He is often referred to as "gender-nonconforming"; through 250+ pages and 36 chapters, this book is filled with emotion, confusion, and change through the kindergarten year in the life of C.J Duron, tackling subjects that I have never really read too much about in other non-fiction.

The Females Behind Our Military

By Chris G.

Since 9/11, there have been 250,000 female military personnel deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Women make up 14 percent of on-duty military forces today.

In Undaunted, Tanya Biank gives the inside scoop on four brave individuals, Brigadier Angela Salinas, Second Lieutenant Bergan Flanagan, Sergeant Amy Stokley, and Major Candice O'Brien. Biank gives us their stories, including the struggles and challenges they face.

The "Riddle" to Success

By Hailee W.

The memoir Race Across Alaska recounts the epic journey of 1985 Iditarod winner, Libby Riddles. Race Across Alaska is the story of twelve hundred miles, 18 freezing days, 15 amazing and heroic dogs and the first woman to ever win the Iditarod. This tale, told partly through facts about the Iditarod itself and partly by Riddles herself, was an amazing read for anyone who likes an adventure.

We Have Officially Entered the Twilight Zone

By Dominique L. (AKA First Person is not a Narrative Mode)

"A Discovery of Witches" by Deborah Harkness is a story of witchcraft, vampires, forbidden love (surprise, surprise), daemons, and history. The genre of this story is a toss-up; it could be categorized as young adult fiction or (perhaps more accurately) another Twilight-Saga-adult-fan-fiction. While Harkness strays from the stereotypical vampire-mortal plot line by bringing other magical creatures and historical snippets into her writing, she still does not quite break out of the fan-fiction category. There's only so much a writer can do - in terms of conflict - with a vampire (hint: blood sucking is involved - obviously).
