title: The Zorki Chronicles
author:  Bill Lowenburg 
description: "A blend of political thriller and human drama, this book is a must-read for your politically engaged and socially passionate students as well as adults... I typically read several books a week and give myself permission to give up on a book if I'm not engaged by page 100. So with that volume of type flowing through my brain, it happens only once or twice a year that I am sad to put down a book when I reach the end; this is one of those books."- Kathie Jackson, <i>PA School Librarians Association Best in Children's and YA Literature</i><br /><br />Thoughtful reading that seamlessly blends fact, wit, and humor. This is a coming-of-age story with a strong, authentic voice. Recommended to high schools that cater to thoughtful readers and adult collections where nostalgic adults wonder if modern youth will ever be able to band together and rise up to create change as they did in the 1960s.<br />Lois McNicol and Hillary Welliver, <i>Tri-State Young Adult Book Review Committee</i>.
