SUMMARY:Brian McDonald reads from his new book Five Floors Up
DESCRIPTION:Seen through the eyes of four generations of a firefighter family\, Five Floors Up the story of the modern New York City Fire Department. From the days just after the horse-drawn firetruck\, to the devastation of the 1970s when the Bronx was Burning\, to the unspeakable tragedy of 9/11\, to the culture-busting department of today\, a Feehan has worn the shoulder patch of the FDNY. The tale shines the spotlight on the career of William M. Feehan. “Chief” Feehan is the only person to have held every rank in the FDNY including New York City’s 28th Fire Commissioner. He died in the September 11\, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. But Five Floors Up is at root an intimate look at a firefighter clan\, the selflessness and bravery of not only those who face the flames\, but the family members who stand by their sides. Alternately humorous and harrowing\, rich with anecdotes and meticulously researched and reported\, Five Floors Up takes us inside a world few truly understand\, documenting an era that is quickly passing us by.\n

SUMMARY:Melissa Dassori & Caroline Gertler celebrate the publication of their new middle grade novels
DESCRIPTION:What if you could write your dreams into reality with the stroke of a pen?\nSixth grade is off to a difficult start for Josephine Rose Silver. Her best friend\, Violet\, returns from camp with a new best friend; her parents refuse to grant her more independence; and her homeroom teacher\, Ms. Kline\, is full of secrets. When Ms. Kline unveils a collection of old Gothamite magazines and tells her students to build their writing skills by crafting short stories inspired by the iconic covers\, J.R. discovers a peculiar power: The stories she writes come true. Soon J.R. is getting a cell phone\, scoring game-winning goals\, and triggering school cancellations. But it’s not long before she realizes that each new story creates as many conflicts as it does solutions. And when J.R. tries to write about her fallout with Violet\, all of her problems converge.\nWith a pinch of magic\, mystery\, art history\, and language arts woven into a journey of growth and self-confidence\, this promising debut is a heartfelt and satisfying tribute to the power of words. \n \nNolie’s sister\, Linden\, may be only fourteen months older than she is\, but suddenly that feels longer than it ever has before. Linden is growing up. She cuts short their Cousins Week at Grandma’s beach cottage to focus on excelling in her ballet auditions\, and she throws away the seashell necklace Grandma gave each of them—though Nolie secretly saves it. Even Nolie’s best friend\, Jessa\, is suddenly trying to act older and cooler\, and she wants Nolie to be someone different\, too.\n\nWith everything and everyone changing around her\, Nolie starts to feel adrift. Should she be changing\, too? Who does she want to be? One impulsive decision leads to another and another . . . until Nolie has a secret collection of things that don’t belong to her. Now\, Nolie must face the fact that she may have ended up on the wrong path so she can start to find her way back.

SUMMARY:Daniel Medwed reads from Barred: Why the Innocent Can't Get Of Prison
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of innocent people are behind bars in the United States. But proving their innocence and winning their release is nearly impossible. \nIn Barred\, legal scholar Daniel S. Medwed argues that our justice system’s stringent procedural rules are largely to blame for the ongoing punishment of the innocent. Those rules guarantee criminal defendants just one opportunity to appeal their convictions directly to a higher court. Afterward\, the wrongfully convicted can pursue only a few narrow remedies. Even when there is strong evidence of a miscarriage of justice\, rigid guidelines\, bias\, and deference toward lower courts all too often prevent exoneration. \nOffering clear explanations of legal procedures alongside heart-wrenching stories of their devastating impact\, Barred exposes how the system is stacked against the innocent and makes a powerful call for change.
