IN THE TIME OF

THE BUTTERFLIES

by Julia Alvarez

"Julia Alvarez provides us with a haunting story about the radicalization of middle class women caught in the web of an oppressive regime. She captures so beautifully the small and large moments that occur in our lives. This book is really about what makes us human, or not, and how to live the best life we can in the circumstances within which we find ourselves." 

SOLD

by Patricia McCormick

Lakshmi is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives with her family in Nepal. Lakshmi’s stepfather says she must leave home and take a job to support her family. Glad to be able to help, Lakshmi journeys to India and arrives at “Happiness House” full of hope. But she soon learns the unthinkable truth: she has been sold into prostitution. Written in spare and evocative vignettes, this powerful novel renders a world that is as unimaginable as it is real, and a girl who not only survives but triumphs.

THE VELDT

by Ray Bradbury

“Here were the lions now, fifteen feet away, so feverishly and startlingly real that you could feel the prickling fur on your hand, and your mouth was stuffed with the dusty smell of their heated pelts and the smell of meat from the panting, dripping mouths.”

Of course, most would see no reason to worry. After all, what harm can mere holograms do? All it will take is a few homicidal lions to find out . . .
