For Teens

"Son," by Lowis Lowry

A conclusion to the "Giver Quartet" combines elements from the Newbery Medal-winning "The Giver," as well as "Gathering Blue" and "Messenger," in a narrative tale that introduces 14-year-old Claire to the world of Jonas and Kira in an ultimate clash between good and evil.


For Adults

"Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot," by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard

The host of The O'Reilly Factor recounts the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy — and how gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath.
