Nevermore: 57 Bus, Why Dinosaurs Matter, Christmas Carol

 


Nevermore 12-17-24

Reported by Rita

The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater

It tells the true story of an agender teen who was set on fire by another teen while riding a bus in Oakland, a crime that focuses on the concepts of race, class, gender, crime, and punishment.

The book was informative, and the characters were well-researched.      – NH      5 stars

 


Why Dinosaurs Matter by Kenneth Lacovara

A paleontologist examines the importance of the way dinosaurs lived and may have died, the meaning of fossils, the nature of deep time, and humans' place in the world as the earth moves into an uncertain environmental future.

Enthralling. It is very detailed and filled with surprising facts. I listened to the audiobook twice!       - DC       5 stars

 


A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

This classic Christmas story is about an elderly miser who, with the help of some ghostly visitors, discovers the true meaning of the holiday.

I loved it! I especially enjoyed the dialogue.      – WJ       5 stars
