Readers who are unfamiliar with the first two novels in the series will miss some of the allusions to earlier events, though the book could stand alone. However, the full character arcs unfold beautifully over the course of the trilogy, one that has a place in any school library.
Readers will love the zany antics brought on by raising a pig, but what makes this a must-read is Becca and her family, with all their love, flaws, and compassion.
Kisner’s diverse, impassioned, and witty novel about smashing the patriarchy will leave readers feeling empowered. A must-have for any library collection.
A racially diverse cast of characters with authentic voices and realistic struggles makes this a must-have for all YA collections.
A stellar work of fiction that will cling to readers’ minds and take hold of their hearts. A novel that tackles the world’s reaction to the literal end of our planet in a way that is relatable and eerily foreseeable.
Curato has created a beautiful story of a teen who must decide if he will force himself into the mold of what he thinks a “normal” boy is, or if he can allow himself to live life on his own terms. An essential book that shows readers that they are never alone in their struggles.
Getten’s heartfelt, lyrical debut will find a home in all collections. Recommended as a first purchase.
With a return to a distinct and limited color palette like that of Henkes’s award-winning Kitten’s First Full Moon, this is a must have for all collections, appropriate for both sharing out loud and for beginning readers.
Recommended, particularly for fans of books such as Anika A. Denise’s Planting Stories, also illustrated by Escobar, and as a city-set complement to Jeanette Winter’s Biblioburro.
