Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Dead End in Norvelt
by
Jack Gantos

, August 04, 2012
A fun, page turner, but reflective and political at the same time. You hear about young Jack's experiences during the summer of 1962 in the real life utopian town of Norvelt, Pennslyvania established by Eleanor Roosevelt. The town's name comes from the last 3 letters of her first name & the last 4 letters of her last name. Jack is grounded that summer(that's where the "Dead End" in the title comes from) yet still has many experiences involving deaths, poisoning, a mystery, his parent's arguments, terrible nosebleeds, helping the needy in his community and taking a plane ride. I will remember this YA book; a Newbury Award winner!

Big Burn Teddy Roosevelt & the Fire That Saved America

If you can imagine a history story being a page turner, this fits the description. I still remember some of the characters, only they weren't characters; they're real people. The story was fast moving and dealt with human nature, tragedies, heroism and natural beauty.
