This week's book pick is Little Brother by Cory Doctorow.
17-year old Marcus is used to outwitting the system - surveillance cameras are everywhere and his school laptop tracks his every online move. Until the day a terrorist attack occurs in Marcus's hometown of San Francisco, he thinks he'll always be one step ahead. But Marcus and his friends are unfortunately discovered by the authorities in a suspicious location shortly after the attack. Before they know it, they're shipped off to a secret prison where they endure days of questioning. After being set free, Marcus discovers he's in a completely unrecognizable San Francisco, one run by a very ironfisted regime. Will Marcus be able to spread the truth about what's really happening before it's too late?
This week's pick is How To Build A House by Dana Reinhardt.
After her father and stepmother's divorce, Harper just needs to get away. She travels to Tennessee from her hometown of Los Angeles and joins a group building a house for a family who lost theirs in a tornado. Harper has no interest in getting to know her fellow house-building volunteers, and she doesn't want to talk about her recent past. But then Harper meets Teddy, whose home Harper is helping to build. Will Teddy be the one to get through to Harper that she needs to start talking and work on rebuilding her own life?
