Glory O' Brien's history of the future

King, A. (2014). Glory O' Brien history of the future. New York: Little, Brown Books for Young Reader.

Glory graduates from high school and goes into the world of the unknown. A tyrannical leader has taken over and raises an army that causes all women's rights to be removed. Glory is fearful of her future because her mom committed suicide at a young age leaving Glory behind. Glory decides to document everything that is taking place in hopes that she can make a difference.

This book could be followed up by a lesson on the destruction of Earth and ways to prevent something like that from happening. King's description of events under tyrannical leaders rule are terrible and the reader  is pushed to feel sympathy for Glory. The lose of Glory's mother left her unsure of her future.
