ZOMBIES & ALTERNATE HISTORIES, grab a copy of:

DREAD NATION by Justina Ireland

The setting? Post-Civil War in America. But it's not the history we know; instead, zombies have sprung from the battlefields and are threatening the survival of the nation. Our heroine, Jane, is a Black girl who, thanks to the Native and Negro Re-education Act, must attend combat school to learn to fight the undead. She's got a skill for it and a no-nonsense attitude that may prove to be exactly what's needed to survive.

This book is soooo fun and imaginative! It's got lots of adventure and a little bit of horror. It tells this subversive version of America and its racial history in a totally new way.

GRAPHIC NOVELS & TALES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE, get your hands on:

MARCH by John Lewis

Renowned Senator John Lewis just passed away this summer, and this is the perfect opportunity to learn and honor his life's work. Growing up in rural Alabama, he learned about Dr. King's message and got highly involved in the nonviolent resistance to segregation. He became an influential figure of the Civil Rights Movement and continued his work towards equality for Black Americans throughout his life and career. 

You can read his full story, in his own words, in this graphic novel trilogy. It shares his experiences, from being a young Black boy in Alabama, through the protests of the 1960s, and as he got involved in politics becoming a highly-esteemed Senator in Washington, D.C. This is definitely an eye-opening and important story to read!
