Dinosaurs Eye to Eye
By John Woodward
DK Publishing, 2010. 96 pp. Juvenile nonfiction.

Dinosaurs Eye to Eye has a cover that makes you want to pick the book up. Luckily the inside is just as fascinating. Each spread in the book is about a particular dinosaur. There is a little information about the dinosaurs, but the picture is the main focus of each page. They are computer images that make you feel as if the creator has actually seen some of these creatures in real life. I also enjoyed the fast facts section where the reader can quickly find out information about each dinosaur such as where we have found fossils, when it lived, its diet and how big the dinosaur was. Any dinosaur lover will eat this book up and will want to look through it time and time again. Lastly, have you ever wondered what you would last see if a dinosaur decided to have you for dinner? Make sure you check out pages 50-51! It’s my favorite.

Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin Illustrated by Leslie Evans Charlesburg; 2009; unpaged Faces of the Moon is a short nonfiction book that describes the different phases of the moon and why the moon appears like it does on certain nights.

Review: The Factory

By
The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages.  Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits. But Asher soon realizes something sinister is going on. Kids are getting sick. The adults who run the Factory seem to be keeping secrets. And the extraction process is not only painful and exhausting, but existentially troubling. Asher makes a handful of new friends who help him with an investigation that turns into a resistance, which turns into...a cliffhanger! The Factory is a page-turning sci-fi with multidimensional characters, an intriguing plot, and refreshingly straight-forward writing. Egan weaves in detail about climate crises and social unrest, making the story's dystopian setting feel rich and plausible. With its sophisticated themes and accessible storytelling, I would recomm...
