The Great Depression happened in the decade of World War II. It was a severe worldwide economic colapse. In the nations it affected it happened at many different times between the 1930s and the 1940s. The stock markets crashed and the prices on just about everything rose.

I think I would want to read "Lockdown: Escape From The Furnace" because it seems like it would be the most interesting. I think it is going to be about someone trying to escape from jail or something. My next choice would be "Night Circus" because it sounds the second most interesting.
