Google It: A History of Google
Frenemies + Homework + Legos = Google? From a college project made out of knock-off legos, Google became one of the most influential companies in the world. Award-winning investigative reporter Anna Crowley Redding shares the true story of Google, its history, innovations, and where it will take us next is this compelling nonfiction account. Think. Invent. Organize. Share. Don’t be evil. And change the world. Larry Page and Sergey Brin started out as two Stanford college students with a wild idea: They were going to organize the world’s information.

Now, find out the true history of Google—from its humble beginnings as a thesis project made out of “borrowed” hardware and discount toys through its revolution of the world’s relationship with technology to a brief glimpse of where they might take us next. Award-winning investigative reporter Anna Crowley Redding shares an inspiring story of innovation, personal and intellectual bravery, and of shooting for the moon to change the world.

Courage Like Kate: The True Story of a Girl Lighthouse Keeper
An inspiring audiobook biography based on the life of Kate Moore, a twelve-year-old lighthouse keeper in the 19th century who saved the lives of twenty-three sailors. With an evocative text, travel back to the stormy, rocky shores of 19th century Connecticut and meet an unforgettable heroine-- at a time when girls were considered anything but. Fayerweather Island had seen blustery blizzards and rip-roaring tides, but it had never seen a pint-sized hurricane until Kate Moore claimed that tiny island as her own. Little Kate was supposed to be the lighthouse keeper's daughter, but she thought of herself as Papa's assistant. The thirty-three spiraling lighthouse stairs finally took a toll on Papa's body, and so twelve-year-old Kate stepped up. Over the years, she kept the flame lit to guide ships to safety, listened for cries for help, and, time and again, pulled men to safety-twenty-three of them in all. At the age of forty-seven, Kate received word-she had been named the official lighthouse keeper of Fayerweather Island. This girl-power audiobook introduces a small heroine, who, with her can-do attitude and incredible spirit, is sure to inspire.
