Nevermore: Little Monsters; Abandoned East Tennessee; This Terrible Sound

 


Reported by Rita

Little Monsters by Kara Thomas has it all: mystery, teen drama, newly combined families, and a séance at the scene of a horrific murder 100 years prior. This young adult novel was described as a fun, easy read. HM




Abandoned East Tennessee: Ruins of Rocky Top by Jay Farrell is filled with phots of abandoned structures throughout East Tennessee. Our reader was intrigued by the items that were left behind in some of the photos and wondered what the stories were behind them. Highly recommended for anyone interested in old abandoned places. CD


 

This Terrible Sound: The Battle of Chickamauga by Peter Cozzens is a graphic historical account of the battle fought between the North and South in the mountains of southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia. Describing how the soldiers would fight for days without food, water, rest, or medical attention, it is a vivid picture of what is considered one of the bloodiest and most decisive battles of the Civil War.
