| The Mare by Mary GaitskillFiction. Velvet Vargas is 11 years old when she first visits upstate New York, thanks to the Fresh Air Fund. It's very different from her inner-city Brooklyn home, and her host family is very different from her unstable Dominican mother, who resents them and resists their role in Velvet's life. As she continues to visit over the next three years, she builds relationships with her host mom, an artist and former addict, and her host father, a professor, as well as with a mistreated horse nearby. This novel sensitively treats the complexities of her transition into adolescence through multiple perspectives, which are effectively portrayed by the recording's four narrators. |

| The Three-Year Swim Club: The Untold Story of Maui's Sugar Ditch Kids... by Julie CheckowayHistory. It was a lofty goal: Japanese-American school teacher Soichi Sakamoto, who knew nothing about swimming or coaching, decided to create an Olympic swimming team from among the poor children of a segregated Hawaiian sugar plantation. Lacking a pool, they had to practice in the plantation's filthy irrigation ditches. But it was 1937, and war intervened: the 1940 Games were canceled. Then so too were the 1944 Games. But finally, in 1948, swimmers from Sakamoto's team were able to compete. Fans of the inspiring story related in Daniel Brown's The Boys in the Boat will likely enjoy this rousing tale of another set of underdogs. |
