  1. Thomas Huxley

    Making the 'Man of Science'

    by Paul White

  2. Galileo's Daughter

    A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love

    by Dava Sobel

    Notes for Parents: There is a slightly cynical critique to the Catholic Church of the time. May raise a lot of questions about the history of the Vatican. Lexile Score: 1530

  3. Bad Girls

    by Alex McAulay

    Notes for Parents: Bad language and serious themes are discussed (sex, drugs, murder), though the tone of the book is set for a young adult.

  4. Thirteen More Tales of Horror (Point Horror 13's S.)

    by Garry Kilworth, Colin Greenland, Philip Pullman, Diane Hoh, Stan N 'Susan Price

  5. Goldy Schulz Culinary Mysteries: Book 15

    Fatally Flaky

    by Diane Mott Davidson

    Notes for Parents: The murders are much less gorily described than what seems to be in many young adult novels today. Males may not appreciate the emotional reactions Goldy has to events that occur during the course of the plot.

  6. Black Butler: Book 3

    Black Butler (Volume 3)

    by Yana Toboso

    Notes for Parents: Rated Older Teen (16+) for language and violence.

  7. THE LIFE OF HON. WILLIAM F. CODY KNOWN AS BUFFALO BILL THE FAMOUS HUNTER, SCOUT AND GUIDE--AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

    by WILLIAM F. CODY

    Notes for Parents: There are some themes and events that need to be understood in context. For example in some cases there is a very cavalier attitude toward the killing of some (but not all, which is interesting in and of itself) Native Americans, and other killings and deaths that need to be understood in the context of the time in which the events took place.
