@heymrsbond The reading level is lower, but Tears of a Tiger is also powerful for my students.

@heymrsbond I teach sophomores. I would recommend Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang, American Born Chinese also by Gene Lien Yang, and The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I have The Graveyard Book in both chapter and graphic novel form.

@heymrsbond When Women Were Dragons
It was a fun read with well-developed characters and feminist themes.
