Summer Reading Book Recommendations: Week 4

This week we shift from fiction recommendations to narrative nonfiction. According to Pat McNees from the website Writers and Editors, narrative nonfiction is "fact-based storytelling that makes the reader want to keep reading." Our five suggestions certainly do exactly that!

Recent purchases for the library have added several narrative nonfiction titles to the collection. We're eager to share these new books with you, as well as all of the new titles waiting for you. See you in August!

How About Some Narrative Nonfiction?

Remember when you were in elementary school and it was check-out time in the library? Chances are you headed to the nonfiction shelves and found books that interested you. What about now that you're a middle school student? Many of our students have now gravitated to fiction books, but what if you found nonfiction that read like a novel? We have it!

Narrative nonfiction books often read like novels and relate to the topics you still care about. Take a look at our new library display featuring some of our narrative nonfiction books:

Included in the display are titles from categories like these:

•  the Lincoln assassination

•  sports events & figures

•  modern American history

•  World War II

•  famous people

•  nature & dogs

If you're looking for a nonfiction book or want to step away from fiction for a change of pace, why not give one of these narrative nonfiction books a try? Feel free to ask about other similar titles, too! Happy reading!
