Autumn Winifred Oliver Does Things Different  is for kids 8 - 12 (or younger if you read the book to them).  It's about the founding of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Author Kristen O'Donnell Tubb has created the new Pippi Longstocking in her main character, Autumn.  Guaranteed for lots of laughs along the road.  

 

The Girl Who Struck Out Babe Ruth (On My Own History) , by Jean Patrick, is perfect for emerging readers who are baseball fans.  It tells the true story of how a girl in Chattanooga once struck out Babe Ruth in an exhibition game.

 

Something Rotten  and Something Wicked are mysteries for teens, modeled on Shakespeare's plays, and set in contemporary Northeast Tennessee.  Author Alan Gratz writes compelling plots and realistic teenage characters --  a sure hit with kids from 13 - 18.
