The Fourth Musketeer: Nonfiction Monday Book Review: Bootleg: Murder, Moonshine, and the Lawless Years of Prohibition, by Karen Blumenthal (Roaring Brook Press, 2011) Recommended for ages 10 and up.
This fascinating new narrative nonfiction book delves into the story of Prohibition, a unique and colorful decade in our country's history. Author Karen Blumenthal , a long-time journalist with the Wall Street Journal, puts her considerable writing skills to good use in explaining how the great social revolution known as Prohibition, which was supposed to forever end drunkenness, reduce crime, and improve the lives of America's families, led instead to a culture of lawlessness, bribery, gangsters, and even murder. Blumenthal goes back to the earliest days of the Pilgrims to trace the history of liquor in America, noting that rum was almost a form of currency in the earliest days of the country. In the 19th century, taverns multiplied, as did concerns about excessive drinking, leading to the formation of the temperance movement, who at first worked toward drinking in moderation.

Recommended Young Adult Books Centered on Teen Issues and Challenges... by Rebecca Thiegs StageofLife.com Co-Founder Teenagers face challenges. Some face more than others. Each year in my 11th grade American Literature class, our research project revolved around real teen issues. I called it "This American Teenage Life Research Project. " One aspect of the project required students to read a YA fiction (or memoir type book) about their chosen topic. Because teenagers enjoy talking about what it is like to be a teenager, there are limitless possibilities to how you can engage them on the topic of teen challenges, but here are some ideas that you could use tomorrow...
