This authentic story of consuming fury and the power of found family to heal is an excellent choice for fans of Neal Shusterman’s “Arc of a Scythe” series or Rick Yancey’s The Monstrumologist.
This twisty but ultimately mundane tale of survival is surprisingly lifeless. Not recommended for purchase except where additional, more accessible action/adventure titles are needed.
Navigating sensitive topics like body image, mental health, racism, grief, and healthy relationships with a gentle hand, this moving coming-of-age story is perfect for tweens and young teens.
A highly accessible, entertaining, and visually engaging nonfiction book that is a recommended first purchase for all middle and high school libraries.
An additional purchase for readers who prefer slow-build romance or for fans of dark, fairy tale–inspired fantasy authors like Marie Rutkoski or Natasha Ngan.
A useful conversation-starter for young teens exploring the gender spectrum and for the adults in their lives, this is a recommended purchase for teen nonfiction shelves.
