Cannot wait to read Brown Girl Dreaming.
My latest gush about them books:
Golden Boy by Tara Sullivan (powerful story of an albino boy in Tanzania)
The Summer of Letting Go by Gae Polisner (the perfect summer read)
If I Ever Get Out of Here by Eric Gansworth (set in the mid seventies on the Tuscarora Indian reservation – a story about friendship and standing up)
Bird by Crystal Chan (growing up in grief and superstition- incredible)

Some of my most recent favorites (I teach 9th grade ELA):
– Friday Night Lights by H. G. Bissinger (for sports lovers, especially football)
– The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls (great mentor text)
– City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (Finally get why my students LOVE this series!)
– The Enemy by Charlie Higson (Zombie lovers will love this suspenseful, gory story)
