The Storm and the Tide is nonfiction
Have you ever heard about the tornadoes of April 27, 2011? That day, there were hundreds of tornadoes that ripped through central and northern Alabama, causing lots and lots of damage. There was even a mile-wide tornado that went through the city of Tuscaloosa, home of the University of Alabama and the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, the defending national champions. Now, a tragedy like this should most definitely affect a team, but in what way? How would a team like this respond to having most of what they know destroyed, and even some guys losing their friends to the tornado? This book will show the resiliency of Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide, including their leaders, quarterback AJ McCarron and linebacker CJ Mosley. It will show the fight that they went through to rebuild their campus that was so special to them, all while working on the football field to try to repeat as national champions.

Belichick and Brady: Two Men, the Patriots, and How They Revolutionized Football is nonfiction
Would you ever think a skinny, non-athletic kid from the University of Michigan would succeed in the NFL? Most people would never think something like that could come true. This one skinny, tall guy was at the bottom of the depth chart and made it to the top. Not only did he make it to the top, he knew the playbook as well as the man who designed it. The head coach of the Patriots saw a lot of potential in this skinny kid, This skinny kid was Tom Brady. Tom Brady is the definition of determination. I say that because he went from the bottom of the depth chart to division titles. That shows me dedication and a little hard work takes you a long way so this would be a great book for many people, not only athletes, to read.

From the Browder File: 22 Essays on the African American Experience is nonfiction
Black culture has been around for thousands of years. Most of my ancestors were the ones who built this world from the bottom up. In the times of the Egyptians, they knew how to read, write, build architecture like The Pyramids of Giza, build and fly helicopters (yes, there is evidence of flying machines on ancient Egyptian pyramid walls), and so much more. A lot of the things that we have today had already been discovered or built thousands of years ago. This book exposes you to the areas of culture, slavery, education, racism, money, and others that affect black families today. It also includes sayings from powerful speakers and groups like Martin Luther King Jr, Black Panthers, Malcolm X, and other black activists that can reflect on what it meant to be black. This book has 22 essays on different topics about the black culture. I would highly recommend this book to the people that want to go more in depth about black culture. The main point of the book is to provide evidence of African-American contributions to history and to be more conscious of black culture and heritage.
