TogetheRead

Tip of the month:
J. K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, excels at picking character names that reveal something about the character’s personality and inner motivations. Pay attention to character names in the books you read. Why do you think the author chose that particular name? Think of some other names you might give to that character as a hint at his/her personality.

This month's TogetheRead: Antarctica

The literature of Antarctica, that fascinating but nearly unpopulated continent, offers a lot more than penguins and explorers. This month’s books share different perspectives on Antarctica’s wildlife, weather, geography, history -- past and present, and environmental concerns. Although Antarctic fiction is rarer, we have some found great examples, as well as non-fiction books for every reader in your family.
