[ISLMA-Share] Seeking recommendation for all school nonfiction read

Thu Nov 2 08:17:07 CDT 2017

Candace Fleming's latest book on the Romanovs might be of interest.
Also:
     *Terrible Typhoid Mary: The true story of the deadliest cook in
America*.  Don't know about the availability of author Susan Campbell
Bartoletti, but an engaging public health official might work well!

     *How Dare the Sun Rise*, by Sandra Uwiringiyimana. Don't know about
the author's availability, but she does speaking tours about being a
refugee in Burundi.
