Does publishing know dystopia is ready for a new wave?

I'm a teacher & my students are begging for it. They're reading the old ones--Hunger Games, Divergent, Matched etc. They need new ones.

They're hungry for it.

Recs? Any new YA dystopia recently published that I missed?

My class and I are reading Romeo + Juliet (them for the first time, me for the 10th), and today we realized that no one, absolutely no one, told them they couldn't be together. Not once.

As much as I would love to be down in Coralville to watch live, I LOVE listening to the announcers hyping up the DNH volleyball team online. So many wonderful things said about such a deserving group.

Anyone else still thinking about how the song titled "Would've, Could've, Should've" is NOT in fact the song that Taylor Swift sings the line "What could've been, would've been / What should've been you"? #Midnights

5+ years of teaching #RomeoandJuliet and I have to say this is the first time I've had a group stop to cheer when the character they don't like dies 😂

Our parents really said “copy and paste.” Hope everyone has a safe and fun prom weekend!

Me, trying to use "Bye Bye, L'il Sebastian" as a fun pop culture reference to make the poem we're studying more interesting: 😃
My students, who are apparently too young to have seen Parks and Rec and confused why I'm playing a song about a fictional mini-horse dying:

Okay, #1: How dare you try to get me off-topic by asking why Taylor Swift is re-recording her old music,

And #2: So it all started when she was 15 and signed an exploitative deal with Big Machine Records....
