Ruinsong
An engaging fantasy novel that will push readers to draw parallels between the narrative and contemporary events and conflicts and, hopefully, empower them to use their own voices to stand up for what they believe in.

Who I Was with Her
This will be a popular addition to realistic fiction collections or appeal to readers who devour romances served with a side of intense angst. Recommend to fans of Nina LaCour and John Green’s Looking for Alaska.

Girl Crushed
A solid addition to collections where romance and light realistic fiction are popular. Recommend to readers of Rainbow Rowell and Becky Albertalli.
Yes No Maybe So
With topical references to state and national issues—including hijab bans, bathroom bills, and the subtle politics of meme culture—this is a warm, beautiful story about relationships’ beginnings, endings, and transitions; what it means to fight the good fight; and the transformative power of local activism. A solid addition to any contemporary YA collection.

Suggested Reading
Wry, thought-provoking, rebellious, and predicated on the belief that the right book changes everything. This book is a school librarians’ dream, and the well-told story of a frustrated teen fighting for social justice will be a hit with young people, too
