April is Drowning in Good Reads


The Tragedy of the Titanic
You’ve probably seen the movie with Leo and Kate, but there’s more to the story of the sinking of the Titanic.  In honor of the 100th anniversary of the sinking April 15th, check out one of these titles:

Bewitching by Alex Flinn

Color Me Green: Dystopias About the Environment
Hot dystopian titles like The Hunger Games trilogy and Divergent have featured oppressive governments, but there are other fascinating themes that authors explore, one being a ravaged and ruined environment: drought; floods; famine; volcanoes –  you name it.  In honor of Earth Day on April 22nd, check out some of these reads:
