Children's librarian Megan Pehanick recommends a back to school story that's not so normal to go along with the not so normal start to the current school year. After 25 years Louis Sachar has written the 4th installment in his comical Wayside School series entitled Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom. Join the students and staff of Wayside School once again for wacky adventures and over the top antics in their school building that was supposed to be built one story high with 30 classrooms but wound up being built 30 stories high with one classroom on each floor. This book is sure to keep your kid laughing (recommended for ages 8-12 years). Request this title here.

The library's head of public service, Sarah Pardi, recommends The Overstory by Richard Powers: If you are like me, you have a favorite type of tree. Or perhaps you think there is nothing better than the smell of pines in the forest. Which is why I borrowed The Overstory by Richard Powers when I saw it available on Libby. Powers does a beautiful job of describing the modest tree's importance in our ever evolving world. But this is not just a story about trees. It is the story of humans and their connection to the natural world--a relationship that is quite complicated, at times moving and ultimately concerning. Access this title 
Circulation assistant Cathy Pepin-Toussaint recommends The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. This is a thrilling tale of two sisters living in occupied France during World War II. Vianne and Isabelle are very different in personality and temperament, but they both find the courage to join the Resistance and fight the Nazis invading their country. If you love historical fiction, you will not be able to put this book down.

Circulation assistant, Paulette Anen recommends The Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson, which tells the exciting narrative of the discovery and exploration of a wrecked World War II German U-Boat 60 miles off the coast of Brielle, N.J. and about 230 feet below the surface. Deep-water dive boat captain Bill Nagle and his friend John Chatterton spent 6 years on this operation, determining that the submarine was U-869. Three members of its crew died in the wreck, including a father and his son. Kurson also extensively discusses the dangers of deep-water diving.

Library assistant Diane McKenna recommends A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry. Set in an unidentified city in India in the 1970s, A Fine Balance concerns four characters from varied backgrounds who come together and develop a bond. It describes the sufferings of outcasts and innocents trying to survive in the face of death and despair. I opened the book and at the end of the first page I was hooked until I finished all 600 pages.
