A suggested first purchase for most libraries, this title is the perfect biographical addition for young readers interested in dance and the arts—a lovely introduction to classical dance for the young dancer through Copeland’s dedicated practice, teamwork, and performance.
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.
A recommended purchase for any YA collection where romance and/or realistic fiction circulates well.
