This final novel from the late Walter Dean Myers tells the true story of William Henry Lane, a young African-American dancer in nineteenth-century New York. Against all odds, Lane (nicknamed “Master Luba”) became world famous for his dancing prowess and is still considered to be one of the grandfathers of modern tap, jazz, and step dancing. [10/13/2015]
Another tale set in turn-of-the-century Victorian New York, this engrossing mystery from bestselling author Donnelly introduces us to Jo Montfort, the young scion of a wealthy newspaper family, who dreams of becoming a journalist — just like her hero, Nellie Bly. But after her father is killed in a mysterious accident, she uses her investigative talents to explore New York’s dark underbelly in hopes of solving his murder. [10/17/2015]

Friends for Life
by Andrew Norriss
I love a good ghost story, but this one isn’t quite what you think it is. Forget scary, haunting, mournful ghosts. Just because Jessica is dead doesn’t mean she can’t be a good friend. She just needs someone to realize she’s there. That’s where Francis comes in.
If you haven't checked out the website yet these two book lists are a great place to start.
I follow them on Facebook and always find good information about getting kids to read!
