TRAITOR
The Case of Benedict Arnold
“Jean Fritz’s biography of Benedict
Arnold is bound to be universally acclaimed.
It is a gripping story, related
in the author’s swift, eloquent style
and perceptively recording examples
of Arnold’s twisted character, from his
birth in 1741 through his betrayal of the
Revolutionary forces and the aftermath
of his treason.” —Publishers Weekly

GALLO, DONALD R.
(Editor)
ON THE FRINGE
“Kids who are geeks, unathletic, poor,
emotionally fragile, loners, or unattractive
by current standards form the heart
of this collection of exceptional stories by
well-known YA authors…..Inspired by
the events at Columbine High School,
the authors pondered what sorts of
heartbreak could cause teens to react so
powerfully and violently, and how being
isolated and shut out of high school
groups could tear down the fragile walls
of self-esteem, making vulnerable individuals
snap and cause massive destruction.”

much, a teacher with a past, and a boy
struggling to navigate the waters of losing
someone and finding oneself.”
