www.facebook.com/StNorbertTimes Wednesday, February 27, 2019 Editor: Samuel Sorenson ENTERTAINMENT snctimes.com/entertainment | 10 Junk Drawer Childhood Hero Anna: Hermione Granger Hermione Granger is my childhood hero for a number of reasons, but mostly for her intelligence and wit. Growing up, I related to Hermione a lot and so I looked up to her as a character. I guess I don’t really know whether my love for reading/school/studying came before reading about Hermione Granger or after, but I think she deserves at least some credit. Her sass and bluntness are still something I aspire towards. I appreciate how she stands up for what she believes in and never backs down no matter how many people tell her she’s wrong. I think she is a great role model for young girls and I really hope that kids will continue to read Harry Potter for many, many years to come.
Eduardo: AC/DC’s Angus Young Everyone goes through major changes in middle school. From the way we talk, to the way we dress and the things we are interested in. However, through those crazy years, one thing remained constant for me: my love for music, but not for the music that my parents played at home. Quite honestly, I did not want to be the kid who listened to the same music as his parents because it was not “cool.” Instead, my rebellious self turned to rock music, and AC/DC was the very first band that caught my ear.
Their music was loud, aggressive and had so much style, unlike what my family would listen to (or so I thought at the time). In the end, Angus Young’s guitar solos on every AC/DC song were what inspired me to pick up and learn the guitar. “I want to be like him,” I would tell myself while watching Angus play the intro to “Thunderstruck” on YouTube. After seven years Above: Angus is actually Angus Young’s birth name; not of learning the instrument, I am grateful to call Angus Young “my first guitar hero.” a stage name.

My grandparents are my childhood heroes because no matter what, they always loved me. I remember them always respecting me and making me feel like I mattered. They were always so kind and generous with other people as well and I strive to be like them every day.
Rebecca: Princess Leia I don’t remember who I looked up to as a child, but I do remember watching Star Wars with my brother. Amidst the struggles of who is who’s father and fighting off bad guys there are many dif- ferent people we can look up to. For me, that would be Princess Leia. She was a great leader for her people even into her elder years in the most recent movies. Not only that, but she’s not afraid to stand her ground and fight when the need arises, in fact, she’s quite skilled with a blaster. She was a diplomat, a fighter and she was always looked highly upon. She was a great character in the legacy of Star Wars and an amazing character to look up to.
Sam: LaDainian Tomlinson In third grade I began watching football. After my cousin handed down his PS1 to me, I was introduced to the Madden games and the Chargers logo caught my eyes. My dad told me that he was also a Chargers fan growing up and the rest is history. From then on, I was a die-hard Chargers fan and the team was led by one of the greatest running backs of all time, LT. Man did I love watching this dude. I had never seen anything like him and I probably never will. Of course, I wanted to play football, but since I weighed about 17 pounds in grade school, I never could. After doing a school project on LT, I learned more about his charitable organizations and his work with training camps for kids. There is nothing negative I can say about him and to this day, he will forever be my favorite football player of all-time.

5. “The Weight of the Stars” by K. Ancrum
Hitting shelves on March 19, Ancrum’s sophomore novel is sure to be emotional if her first novel, “The Wicker King,” is any indication. Main character Ryann Bird has dreams of being an astronaut, but those are far-fetched dreams coming from a girl who lives in a trailer park on the wrong side of town. Or, at least, these are the circumstances until Ryann meets Alexandria. Despite Alexandria’s attempts to dodge Ryann’s friendship, a freak accident brings the two together. It isn’t long until Ryann finds out that Alexandria’s mom is an astronaut who volunteered for a one-way trip to the edge of the universe. It seems that the two have much more in common than they thought…
Words from the author: “I value being able to write about stuff like this and showcase the tapestry of what existed around me as a teen, as opposed to what is conventional to expect teens to act like.”
4. “Aurora Rising” by Jay Kristoff and Amy Kaufman
“Aurora Rising,” the first book in a new series by Kristoff and Kaufman comes out on May 7. I am very much looking forward to this book because I love the writing team of Kristoff and Kaufman. Their “The Illuminae Files” series is one of my favorite YA Sci-Fi series, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next. 1,351 years in the future, the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are ready for their first mission. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but of course, it doesn’t work out that way. He gets stuck with a cocky diplomat, a sociopath scientist, a tech genius with the biggest chip on his shoulder, an alien warrior and a pilot who is totally not into him. This team of misfits might not be his biggest problem, though. That would belong to Auri, a girl who has been trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, a girl who could just very well be the beginning of a galactic war that only Tyler and his team of misfits can stop.
Words from the authors: “We sold it as ‘The Breakfast Club’ goes to Star Fleet Academy. It’s a science fiction series, set in the far future, where a ragtag group of losers, delinquents and discipline cases at a military academy end up having to save the universe – presuming they don’t kill each other first.”
3. “Opposite of Always” by Justin A. Reynolds
Set for a March 5 release date, Reynolds’ debut novel sounds pretty incredible. Jack Ellison King is the King of Almost. He was almost valedictorian of his class, almost made varsity and almost got the girl. His love story with Kate is complicated. When he met her, Jack knew he would fall hard for her. But then Kate died. Instead of the demise of their love story, Jack is sent back to the beginning of it. He doesn’t believe in time travel, but he has no other way of explaining what happens when he meets Kate all over again. He is given a second chance to try and prevent her death. As Jack navigates this impossible situation, he learns that his actions aren’t without consequence. He has to decide what he’s willing to do in order to save who he loves.
Words from the author: “I was coping with the loss of my best friend and still grieving an aunt who’d passed far too soon, and I was struggling with their absence. I couldn’t wrap my brain around a world without either of them. But they were such vibrant, happy, often hilarious people. And so this story became a celebration of life, a way to embrace their memories, and travel back in time.”
2. “Good Enough” by Jen Petro-Roy
This book will already be out on shelves by the time this issue is released, but its release coincides perfectly with NEDAwareness Week, so I couldn’t pass up the chance to write about it. Before her eating disorder, Riley was many things: an aspiring artist, a runner, a sister and a friend. From inside an inpatient treat- ment center, however, those things are easy to forget about. Under the influence of her eating disorder, Riley has turned into a person she doesn’t even recognize. She realizes that recovery is the only option if she wants to get her life back. That is much easier said than done, though. With a dieting mom, a school bully, and a blackmailing roommate, Riley feels as though she’s in over her head.
Words from a critic: “Every library needs ‘Good Enough’ on its shelves. Lyrical, funny, honest and brave, this is a book that will save lives.”
1. “Defy Me” by Tahereh Mafi
Personally, I have been looking forward to this book ever since “Restore Me” came out last year. The “Shatter Me” series is one of my favorite YA series, and I am so happy that Mafi is extending the original trilogy. This summary will be short to avoid spoilers of the entire series but trust me, you’re going to want to read this. Hitting shelves on April 2, “Defy Me” is a continuation of Juliette’s fight to gain respect as the new supreme commander of North America. When the other world leaders’ children start showing up on her doorstep, Juliette wants nothing more than to turn to Warner for support. However, once she finds out that Warner has been keeping secrets about her family and identity from her, Juliette is devastated. The darkness is threatening to envelop her, and an unexpected visit from unwelcome guests could be what pushes Juliette over the edge.
Words from a critic: “Fast-paced action scenes convey imminent danger vividly. Part cautionary tale, part juicy love story, this will appeal to action and adventure fans.” Wednesday, February 27, 2019 | Editor: Adriana Bink SPORTS sntimes.wordpress.com/sports | 14 Men’s Tennis drops opener to MSOE ANDREW GEHRING | SPORTS CORRESPONDENT SNC Men’s Tennis (0- dress in practice.
