Brad Meltzer
A lively introduction to people presented as admirable for different reasons, from persistence and kindness to peace activism. Its short portraits can spark curiosity, though they offer little context for weighing each person’s whole life.
Rebecca Upjohn, Renne Benoit
This is a child-focused historical account of persecution, concealment and courage during the Holocaust. Its central contrast is between a community’s ridicule of Anton and his decision to protect Jewish neighbours at great personal risk.
Kelly Milner Halls
Three true animal-rescue accounts centre on a dog, dolphins and gorillas. The book combines lively episodes with photographs, sidebars and fun facts, presenting animals as capable participants in dramatic encounters involving trains, sharks and a zoo enclosure.
