  Beckwith relates a history of America's wars that includes "What America Missed in US History Class." She details why war sells, the fallacies of common justifications for war, true costs of war, and sensible alternatives. A Mighty Case Against War proposes that this culturally supported, deeply entrenched system of governmental violence is simply too costly, destructive, counterproductive, and inhumane to leave unchallenged. An easily listenable book, this is a resource for youth and adult education, peacebuilding activists, and all who have wondered if a world beyond war is possible.

  As slaves relentlessly toiled in an unjust system in 19th century Louisiana, they all counted down the days until Sunday, when, at least for half a day, they were briefly able to congregate in Congo Square in New Orleans. There, they were free to set up an open market, sing, dance, and play music. They were free to forget their cares, their struggles, and their oppression. This poetic, nonfiction story about this little-known piece of African American history chronicles the daily duties of such slaves-from chopping logs on Mondays to baking bread on Wednesdays to plucking hens on Saturday-and builds to the freedom of Sundays and the special experience of an afternoon spent in Congo Square, capturing humanity's capacity to find hope and joy even in the most difficult of circumstances and demonstrating how New Orleans' Congo Square was truly freedom's heart.

  She's starting to get a reputation without any of the benefits. 
  Drama-- and bodies-- pile up around Millie and she chases clues, snuggles Baxter the so-ugly-he' s-adorable bassett hound, and storms out of the world' s most awkward school dance/memorial mash-up. At least she gets to eat a lot of pie. 
  Best-selling author Beth Fantaskey' s funny, fast-paced blend of Clueless  and  Nancy Drew  is a suspenseful audiobook that is the best time a listener can have with buried weapons, chicken clocks, and a boy who only watches gloomy moviesbut somehow makes Millie smile. Bee-lieve it.
