“Have more than thou showest,

Speak less than thou knowest,

Lend less than thou owest,

Ride more than thou goest,

Learn more than thou trowest,

Set less than thou throwest.”

—The Fool in King Lear

Jennifer C. from Fair Grove Branch Library recommends “Wilder Girls and Burn Our Bodies Down” by Rory Power.

Rory Powers writes a kind of horror that you cannot get out of your mind once you have finished reading.  The elements of body horror she imagines as a result of environmental complications are chilling.  These are the kind of books that will make you want to treat the earth with respect just to avoid the wrath of Mother Nature.
