Earth Day Books That Look on the Bright Side
Ten years ago, it was hard to find inspiring books about the environment. “They’re all sad,” complained my daughter. “Who wants to read about everything dying?” But that was then.

Teen Winter Reading Club Book List
The Teen Winter Reading Club has ended, and the reviews have all been published. Here's the final list of what the teens in Wilmette read this winter!
Teen Book Review: How To
One book I read this winter was How To by Randall Munroe, author of What If and Thing Explainer. How To is a book that takes a mundane thing, solves it in an absurd way, and then uses science to figure out how that would work.
Teen Book Review: Ready Player Two
I read Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline. I like this book because it has lots of unexpected twists like having an AI attack and break the main character’s worst enemy out of prison, breaking up with the new girlfriend, or the newest tech turning out to be bad.
Balance, Well-Being and Good Vibes
With the arrival of spring, our attention shifts to the outdoors including the garden - raking, tilling and planting. But what about the indoors? If you're planting coneflowers, herbs, and lettuce outside, why not cultivate balance, well-being and good vibes inside?

Three Girls from Bronzeville by Dawn Turner Tuesday, May 10th, 10:30am
Teen Book Review: Housekeeping
I read the book Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson. The book contained a central metaphor around the relation of water and consciousness, and it was very interesting to track this theme throughout the story.
Teen Book Review: Bad Blood
I read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou. This was a very interesting book about the rise and fall/scandal of Theranos, the blood testing startup from Silicon Valley. It was one of my favorite nonfiction books as it read like a fiction.
Teen Book Review: I Killed Zoe Spanos
A book I read this winter is I Killed Zoe Spanos by Kit Frick. This book is about Anna Cicconi getting a job as a nanny in a town that’s the Hamptons of Herron Mils. But this town is where people are trying to forget the past of a dreadful event on New Years Eve.
