**Century: //Take Me to the River// by Will Hobbs - high interest, good for boys** DENENBERG, Barry. Titanic Sinks!: Experience the Titanic ’s Doomed Voyage in This Unique Presentation of Fact and Fiction. Viking. Tr $19.99. ISBN 978-0-670-01243-5. Gr 3-8 –Designed as a “special edition magazine,” this arresting work covers the ship’s construction, voyage, and catastrophic fate. Photographs, sepia-toned oversize pages, and an eye-catching format offer readers an unusual approach to a historical tragedy. The informative text raises important questions, such as those about the fates of so many third-class passengers.

DRUMMOND, Allan. Energy Island: How One Community Harnessed the Wind and Changed Their World. illus. by author. Farrar/Frances Foster Bks. Tr $16.99. ISBN 978-0-374-32184-0. Gr 2-6 –On a windy island off the coast of Denmark where oil tankers once docked, today’s visitors will find turbines, solar panels, biomass furnaces, and electric cars. Breezy watercolor panels filled with amusing details tell the story of an indefatigable teacher (and a storm) that convinced the community to move from nonrenewable fuel sources to energy independence.

DEEDY, Carmen Agra & Randall Wright. The Cheshire Cheese Cat: A Dickens of a Tale. illus. by Barry Moser. Peachtree. Tr $16.95. ISBN 978-1-56145-595-9. Gr 5-8– A cagey cat with a penchant for cheese pretends to be a mouser at an inn overrun by rodents and frequented by a famous author with writer’s block. Rich in lofty language and vivid characterization, and artfully embellished by Moser’s expressive illustrations, this laugh-out-loud tale is one to savor. **Hulstrom:** **Northglenn:** **Rocky Top:** **- __Nothing Ever Happens on 90th Street__** **Shadow Ridge:** **Silver Hills:** **Thornton:** **Westlake:** __First Crossings__ ed. by Don Gallo **//(STEM focus:)//** **Niver Creek:** **STEM:**
