Lyrical, lovely, and luminous, Aida Salazar returns with another novel in verse about the power of family and finding your home. Reminiscent of Esperanza Rising and Efrén Divided, nine-year-old Betita's story is one of hope and love. When her family is separated and detained by ICE, Betita must find a way to hold on to hope. Salazar calls on the rich culture and ancestry of Latinx peoples to anchor this timely and heart-wrenching middle grade novel.
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.
