I began reading this & thought, “Oh great—yet another angsty teen whining🙄” But it’s so much more. James, who suffers from #depression, is socially awkward & in love with Walt Whitman’s poetry & Beth—editor of the school’s poetry review. Funny, beautiful, & important.

The magnificent #EdnaFerber ‘s @PulitzerPrizes -winning novel is quintessentially #American in its sweeping story of life in 1920s #Chicago But the universal message is one of money vs. beauty, & of following your heart instead of spending your life trying to impress others❤️🏦

A short but intense allegory about the monsters masquerading as angels who live and work in our own #neighborhoods This acclaimed novel by @azemezi is definitely politically left-leaning, but teaches us ALL valuable lessons about being #aware , and the power of asking for help❤️

Though the storyline is predictable, @davidyoon ‘s irrepressible & realistic characters are anything but. Frank Li is in love with a white classmate, but his parents insist he date a #Korean girl. This @cyrmaward nominee was also named one of Time’s 100 Best YA Books. #Romance ❤️
