I hope you’ve all had a fantastic summer and got yourselves caught up in a
good book like I did. After all, summer
vacation is the best time to read just for the fun of it!
This year’s selections for Virginia Reader’s Choice are
here. I’ll highlight one each week and I’m
starting with Endangered by Eliot Schrefer:
Congo is a dangerous place, even for people who are trying to do
good.
When Sophie has to visit her mother at her sanctuary for bonobos,
she's not thrilled to be there. Then Otto, an infant bonobo, comes into her
life, and for the first time she feels responsible for another creature.
But peace does not last long for Sophie and Otto. When an armed
revolution breaks out in the country, the sanctuary is attacked, and the two of
them must escape unprepared into the jungle. Caught in the crosshairs of a
lethal conflict, they must struggle to keep safe, to eat, and to live.
Wow- the perfect choice for anyone
who’s in the mood for a quick action / adventure / survival story. Stop by the library to check out your copy!
