Powell's Staff: 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...

Molokai by Alan Brennert
	carly, January 01, 2011 I am always impressed by authors who can cover decades of a person's life in one novel, and do it well. I Moloka'i, Brennert does just that. And, in doing so shows the reader a little-known part of Hawaiian-U.S. history. Or, at least a part that I knew little about... and I was inspired to do further reading on the topic. The novel's protagonist, Rachel Kalama, is amazing, and completely believable.

The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson and the Olympians 1 by Rick Riordan
	carly, June 27, 2009 I zipped through this book and enjoyed every page. It was great seeing all those Greek myths and characters I learned about in middle school reworked and updated in this well-plotted adventure. I can't wait to read the next in the series!

Fables by Arnold Lobel
	carly, January 25, 2009 This is a fabulous collection of original fables with great messages/morals. My middle school students love it, and every adult I've recommended it to has found a favorite story inside. I'm a fan of "The Hippopotamus Dances."
