MEMOIR
Stories of triumph over adversity
A story of how to fight, overcome and, ultimately, thrive. Newsday

Imperfect

An Improbable Life
by Jim Abbott and Tim Brown

orn without a right hand, Jim Abbott dreamed of someday being a great athlete. Raised in Flint, Michigan, by parents who encouraged him to compete, Jim would become an ace pitcher for the University of Michigan. But his journey was only beginning: By age twenty-one, he had won the gold medal baseball game at the 1988 Olympics and cracked the starting rotation of the California Angels. In 1991, he would finish third in the voting for the Cy Young Award. Two years later, he would don Yankee pinstripes and pitch one of the most dramatic no-hitters in major-league history. With a riveting pitch-by-pitch account of his no-hitter providing the ideal frame for his story, Imperfect is truly an extraordinary and unforgettable memoir that will inspire students to pursue their goals despite the challenges in their lives.

World War Z: An Oral

by Max Brooks

History of the Zombie War

t long last, here is the gripping, fictional history of the Zombie War, which came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Author Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of 30 million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, reality of that dreadful time. World War Z is the imaginative, astonishing result.
