Life is so good by George Dawson and Richard Glaubman

This is an incredible look at George Dawson's life. What made it so interesting for me was to be able to look into a living memory lasting from nearly 100 years ago and to understand how much change and history can be experienced within one lifetime.

Truth & Bright Water by Thomas King

"Thomas King is a writer of lyrical, comic poignancy, and a best-selling author in Canada. Of his latest novel, Newsday wrote, "Thomas King has quietly and gorgeously done it again." Truth and Bright Water tells of a summer in the life of Tecumseh and Lum, young Native-American cousins coming of age in the Montana town of Truth, and the Bright Water Reserve across the river in Alberta. It opens with a mysterious woman with a suitcase, throwing things into the river — then jumping in herself. Tecumseh and Lum go to help, but she and her truck have disappeared. Other mysteries puzzle Tecumseh: whether his mom will take his dad back; if his rolling-stone aunt is home to stay; why no one protects Lum from his father's rages. Then Tecumseh gets a job helping an artist — Bright Water's most famous son — with the project of a lifetime. As Truth and Bright Water prepare for the Indian Days festival, their secrets come together in a climax of tragedy, reconciliation, and love." - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/196432.Truth_and_Bright_Water

Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George

This is an elaboration of the fairy tale "The Twelve Dancing Princesses". It's really for a younger audience but is a nice simple afternoon read.
