Book of the Month: Destiny of the Republic

by Candice Millard

When a relatively unknown clerk by the

name of Charles Guiteau shoots President Garfield

at the Baltimore and Potomic rail station in

Washington D.C., he set into action a series of

events that would change the course of history.

Author Candice Millard deftly navigates President Garfield’s

personal and presidential history along with Guiteu’s and

interweaves in the story of modern medicine as well.

Check out this great non-fiction selection at the Northfield

Township Area Library next time you stop in!

In the country of Tortall, young Alanna of Trebond’s destiny seems fixed. In a matter of days, she will leave her twin brother and her home and go away to study to become a lady. Only Alanna wants nothing to do with

her family’s plan for her future. She would much rather learn to be a knight, as her brother Thom is heading off to do. The twins hatch a

daring plan to pursue their own dreams and Alanna heads off on an incredible adventure
