[CASL-L] non-fiction recommendations

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Are they interested in reading biographies? If so, how about Karen
Blumenthal's* Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different *(YALSA-ALA
Excellence in YA Nonfiction Finalist)--I've read the adult biography of
Jobs and found it fascinating--haven't read this YA bio yet.

Steve Sheinkin used to write history textbooks, but after seeing that all
the "good" stories would often get edited out, he decided to write "history
books" that include all those "good" stories! You might want to check those
out too.

Enjoy,
~Val
