Check It Out: Scaled by J T Ashmore

Listen to Barb Gross as she recommends Scaled by J.T. Ashmore. This is Barb Gross with the Sioux City Public Library, and you’re listening to “Check it Out.” Today, I’m recommending Scaled , Book One of the Deep Skin young adult trilogy by J.T. Ashmore, which is a pen name for two brilliant local writers you may recognize. Tricia Currans-Sheehan and Jeanne Emmons, both well-known for their years at Briar Cliff University, teamed up to write Scaled and the other two books in this science fiction series. In the opening scene of the book, a meteor carrying alien DNA strikes the Earth in the Midwest. Zack, a teenager living close to the crash site, rushes out to investigate and becomes “infected.” He and many other teens start to develop iridescent scales on their bodies, which causes widespread alarm among authorities who fear that the condition is contagious and could be the start of a pandemic.

Check It Out: Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor

Listen to Kristina Yezdimer as she recommends Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor. This is Kristina Yezdimer from the Sioux City Public Library and you’re listening to Check It Out. Today I’m going to recommend the spellbinding young adult fantasy novel Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor. Marketed as the Nigerian Harry Potter, this book has several things in common with the boy wizard but has its own unique magical world based on African folklore. 12-year old Sunny, a black girl with albinism, is always an outsider. Raised in the United States by Nigerian parents, she didn’t fit in. When her family returns to Nigeria, she is called Akata, a derogatory term for an American of African heritage, and also a witch because of superstitions about her lack of skin pigment. Even her parents give her fewer freedoms than her two brothers because she is a girl, especially with a serial child killer nicknamed Black Hat in the local news.

Check It Out: Caste: The Origins of our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson

2:00 Listen to Barb Gross as she recommends Caste: The Origins of our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson. This is Barb Gross with the Sioux City Public Library, and you’re listening to “Check it Out.” Today, I’m recommending Caste: The Origins of our Discontents by Pulitzer-winning writer Isabel Wilkerson. A friend told me this book had “gobsmacked” her, giving her a profound new perspective on the racial constructs that divide America. Wilkerson’s well-researched premise is that America has a caste system, similar to India’s and even Nazi Germany’s. She writes, “As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theatre, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power – which groups have it and which do not.”

Check It Out: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

Listen to Kelsey Patterson as she recommends And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. This is Kelsey Patterson with the Sioux City Public Library and you’re listening to Check It Out. Today, I’m recommending a mystery classic And Then There Were None by the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie. First published in 1939, this is the story that made Agatha Christie the bestselling novelist of all time, it sold over 100 million copies, and is read the world over in more than 50 languages. Christie once said, “It was so difficult to do that the idea had fascinated me.” It was an idea which has now become the basis for many Hollywood horror films and is a cliché to modern audiences, but it was Agatha Christie who was the first to do it and so successfully that the story has become her most adapted piece of writing.
