Some New Titles

Check out some new non-fiction books.

  • Math Doesn’t Suck: How to Survive Middle School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail. (510 McK)
    • Love the title! Written by Danica McKellar of TV shows The Wonder Years and The West Wing, she is also a noted mathematician. So much so, that there is a “groundbreaking mathematical physics theorem” which even includes her name. Chapters include the following: “What Every Savvy Shopper Should Know” - decimals, “Does She Ever Get Off the Phone?” - ratios, and my personal favorite, “You Can Never Have Too Many Shoes” - lowest common multiple.
  • What Color is Your Parachute? For Teens. (331.7 Bol)
    • This book might help you decide what you would like to do with your life. Unless you are independently wealthy, chances are you are going to have to work for a living. This is the book for you if you’d like to find out about yourself and the working world.
  • Like a Pro: 101 Simple Way to Do Really Important Stuff. (646.7 Bec)
    • This is the book you can use to amaze your friends, astonish your teachers, and wow your family. This book includes advice on how to boost your brain power, make the perfect snowman, make recycled paper, and take fantastic photos among lots of other things.
