[aisle] book suggestions

[J Chadwick]

I'm not sure which age group you're working with specifically, but maaaaybe
the graphic novel *The Leak* by Kate Reed Petty? (My own 9yo read this for
a book group and while the focus seemed to be a little more about speaking
truth to power, the book -- and the book group -- also talked about the
Flint Water Crisis in conjunction with it. They even built little water
filters as an activity.)

It's not about the U.S., but several years back NU used Roger Thurow's *The
Last Hunger Season* as their One Book One Northwestern selection, which one
of our school's teen book clubs participated in as well.
