The Hate U Give
Dear Martin
It’s one of my kids
holden caulfield
The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine.
Thanks !
I was going to say The Hate you Give! It’s classified as a YA book too!
I second this. It was great! I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but I’m so glad I read it.
I’ve ordered it , tha! För nonfiction , she is getting Wake, Rise, Resist.
For writers , we need more books about intersectionality and characters waking up to a cause or purpose for young people . This is their world , and we need well-written stories about that reality , as we as realistic ways that characters change and grow as a result . Too much YA fiction is either fantasy or formulaic problem of the week (with notable exceptions) Nothing wrong with genre fiction , but nice to have a wider range.
