Reluctant Reader Wednesday: Occulted by Amy Rose, Ryan Estrada, & Jeongmin Lee 

Amy Rose didn’t know much about the outside world. When she was little, her parents brought the whole family into a unique community that was supposed to be welcoming, but was really hiding secrets. One by one, her family members left the compound, until just Amy and her mother were left. By the time she first heard the world “cult,” she had already been living in this place for years. Their leader said that the world was going to end soon, and everybody believed it.

But sometimes Amy wondered if their leader was hiding the truth, and Amy’s thirst for knowledge and love of books will be the most important tools that will help her to escape from this place. 

This graphic memoir is a powerful story about cults, secrets, deception, family problems, and a child who was smart enough and brave enough to take back control of her own life. Give this book to teens or even adults who love survivor stories!

Cool take, even seen 30-40 year olds get drunk at a business dinner/event (and I mean absolutely 5 drinks deep hammered) and then show up to work the next day complaining of hangovers? Because I have 🙃.

So I'm doing some more research for the next Officer 432 story, and I've never had a "GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE" moment like this before.

I don't even know where to start: the fucking headline. The ridiculously edgy photo with that cheap tacky wallhanger. Or maybe the fact that she looks like The Kurgan from Highlander, particularly after I read that they had to move Rosemary West (another infamous British serial killer) to another prison because this loopy bitch here said she wanted to kill her at the first opportunity. Like what, "There can be only one"?!

This is not any ordinary clown show, this is a clown show featuring Pennywise, Captain Spaulding and Rockzo (he does cocaine!).

Reluctant Reader Wednesday: 83 Days in Mariupol: A War Diary by Don Brown 

Let me start by saying that Don Brown hits it out of the park again. Let me also say that many of Don Brown's books can be tough to read because they’re about painful subjects that are also true. He’s written graphic-format nonfiction about tough subjects like the Dust Bowl, Hurricane Katrina, the killer flu of 1918, and the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. All of those topics, while fascinating, aren’t in the recent memory of most teenagers. But 83 Days in Mariupol is about the war in Ukraine, which is still happening right now.

This is an amazing but tough read, by which I mean that it’s hard to read because the subject matter is upsetting, but readers will also be turning the pages because they’ll want to understand details of this real-life event that were hidden beneath the headlines. Reading this book really makes you feel like you understand what it was like to be in Ukraine at the start of the Russian invasion.

Give this book to teens or even adults who want to take a deeper dive into this tragic story, and readers looking for stories of survival in the face of impossible odds.
