HENRY
B. GONZALEZ
Rebel
with a Cause
By Jean Flynn
Henry B. Gonzalez, the trail_blazing congressman from
San Antonio, Texas, overcame great odds to become one of the nation’s
most beloved—and sometimes hated—leaders.

helped them without regard to power, politics, or money.
WHAT
DID I DO TO DESERVE A SISTER LIKE YOU
by Angela Shelf
Medearis
Illustrated by Don Tate II
Mark Galbreath
Life is rough sometimes, and Sharie is learning what that's
all about in this easy_read chapter book. She'd rather eat liver and
onions than go to piano lessons, and she dreads the thought of playing in
a recital. Her older sister, Sandra, is bossy but beautiful, while Sharie
wears thick, ugly glasses, her hair looks like it's been plugged into a
200 volt live wire, and she's broken out in a rash! On top of all that,
her dad is out of town and her mom has to work so hard. There is one thing
that would really brighten Sharie's day—to ride the Scream_a_Rama at
Joyland!
