Two
new books about Brooklyn’s own Nets have arrived in Belmont’s library
and both are slim volumes with a heavy bent on the Nets’ history. Wyner
focuses more on the team’s current incarnation and will probably appeal
more to reluctant readers with its engaging narrative style. There are
some differences in points of view between the two volumes’ authors, so
these might make for a useful pairing as teachers lead students into
Common Core ELA Informational text standards. Neither text contains a
bibliography, but Frager’s backmatter includes a timeline, index, and
glossary. Both begin with a table of contents and contain a generous
helping of pictures throughout their 48 pages.--Jessica Fenster-Sparber
