The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne

When Bruno’s father is transferred from Berlin to a new post in Poland called "Out-With," Bruno and his family try to adjust. From his new bedroom window Bruno can see a fenced-in camp where all the inhabitants wear striped pajamas. He learns more about this intriguing place when he befriends a boy inside the camp named Shmuel (who happens to share Bruno's birthday). Their friendship progresses dangerously and brings Boyne's tale to a shocking end that is sure to be a discussion starter. (Pub. Wkly.)

The Billionaire’s Vinegar: The Mystery of the World’s Most Expensive Bottle of Wine

The Billionaire’s Vinegar: The Mystery of the World’s Most Expensive Bottle of Wine, by Benjamin Wallace

In 1985 in London, the Forbes publishing family paid more than $150,000 for a nearly 200-year-old bottle of Bordeaux rumored to have once been owned by Thomas Jefferson. At first only a few doubted the authenticity of the wine, but over time, as more bottles from the same cache were sold, the questions about [the] bottles kept coming. The Billionaire’s Vinegar tells a deliciously entertaining (true) story that blends history, mystery, and, of course, wine!
