Melinda Clark's Picks
I am the Manager of Viewpoint Books and have been with the store for 21 years. I love to read science fiction, fantasy, and mystery books. I also enjoy reading young adult and middle reader books so that I can help parents and kids find books they'll love to read. I believe that anyone can become a person that enjoys books as soon as that find the right book that captures their imagination.

Our book group read Moloka'i. It is a historical fiction about the leper colony on Moloka'i island. It is a fascinating look at there lives. They only get snippets of the changes in history because they were so isolated. Even more amazing is that while the specifics are fiction the place was real with similar people that had to live here.

The Book Thief is a completely unique story. "Death" is the narrator of this spellbinding tale that takes place in Nazi Germany. It is a gut wrenching account of a girl who is a foster child with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.
