Beige, Castellucci (Y)
Good, though not totally amazing– what I was reading for, as a part of the mock Printz award at my work. It was interesting to read about someone with ex addict punk parents. Three stars.

Invisible enemies : stories of infectious diseases / Jeanette Farrell (Y)
(the 2005 edition with updated content). Very cool book, very good writer, though I did know some of the stuff already, since I am an infectophile. The section on leprosy was quite good. Four stars.

The wall : growing up behind the Iron Curtain / Peter S
