Thanks to e. E. Charlton-Trujillo, author of Fat Angie and co-founder of Never Counted Out, an organization that seeks to empower at-risk youth through writing and the arts, 48 new teen novels have been donated to the MMS/FHS library.  Diverse characters and situations are a part of these added titles as it is important for all teens to be able to see themselves in the books they read.  Stop by the library and check out our display, or better yet – a book!

​Sachiko Yasui was six years old when an atomic bomb was dropped on her city of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.  It wasn’t until 50 years later that she could begin to share the “unspeakable seconds” of the bombing, the struggle to survive, the deaths of her siblings from radiation sickness, her own thyroid cancer and her survivor’s guilt.  Complete with plenty of photos and historical information, anyone with an interest in WWII will find this a fascinating memoir.
