Rat Rule 79 is a labyrinth of beauty, curiosity, and all things strange. When Fred follows her mom through a paper lantern she winds up in the Land of Impossibility, where time is outlawed and her only allies are a depressed elephant and fiercely maternal mongoose. Fred and her cohorts must journey through this strange and twisting land if they're ever to find Fred's mom and bring her home! Galchen effortlessly captures the chaos of being a thirteen-year-old girl; Fred is wild, half feral, both lost and found. I needed this book at thirteen. I need this book now. I will need this book when I am one hundred and thirteen.

If you read one YA book this season, make it THE HATE U GIVE, a stunning, searing debut novel by Angie Thomas. When Starr Carter is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her childhood friend Khalil by a police officer, the always tenuous balance between her two worlds - the poor neighborhood where she lives and the wealthy suburban private school she attends-- is blown to bits. Starr is the only one who knows the truth of what happened that night, but what she says or doesn't say may destroy her community... or her life. Authentic. Achingly real. THE HATE YOU GIVE deals with racism and police violence with unblinking honesty. A must read for teens and adults alike, as these articles linked below all attest. This is hands down the best book I've read this year.
