TAKE ANOTHER LOOK


As we begin this new calendar year, the IMC repeats a special display of books recently added to the collection. While there is an ongoing display area for new books, often those books are pushed out by even newer books too soon for everyone to get a chance to see them. So the area on top of the middle fiction bookcase now shows a collection of new fiction and nonfiction that we would like you to another look at. Among the fiction books displayed are: The Auslander, by Paul Dowswell, a story from World War II Germany about Peter, an Polish orphan, who looks German and is taken for a special program where he is adopted by an important German family AND The Seer a Shadows, by Avi, a strange and spooky story about Enoch, a photographer's apprentice in 1872 New York City, who helps his master fake photographic portraits of recently deceased people until Enoch finds that he really can take photos of the dead AND Runaway Twin, by Peg Kehret, a story about an orphan Sunny who decides to try to find her long-lost twin in a cross-country adventure involving an abandoned dog, bullies, and a dangerous tornado.
Some of the no-fiction titles include: Secret Subway; the Fascinating Tale of an Amazing Feat of Engineering, by Martin W. Sandler AND Mighty Robots; Mechanical Marvels That Fascinate and Frighten, by David Jones AND The Prairie Builders; Reconstructong America's Lost Grasslands, by Sneed B. Collard III. Come to this special display and see what treasures you can find!
