11yo Lenny is starting 6th grade at a new school. His mother has recently passed and his dad has taken a job teaching Latin at a college so they've moved from New Jersey to Tennessee. Along with 4 other children his age, all kids of college professors, Lenny is enrolled in The Copernicus school were his education is primarily self discovery, meditation, observing campus life and auditing college classes. Lenny and his dad are grieving for his mom in different ways and are not getting along. He doesn't want to be part of anything, his dad, this school, or Tennessee. 

Schooled is a bit different from Sumner's usual writing. It took me a bit to get into, and it was an adult connection rather than one kids would gravitate to. Lenny meets a professor on campus who invites him to audit his Fairy Tales class (but then the content of the class is more Mythology). Lenny is stuck unable to grieve his mother's death because his dad is in denial? can't manage his own feelings? unable to see Lenny's needs? What I really think - it's sad and readers picking it may be disappointed it's not like her other books. Lenny is white, his friends are a variety of races including Asian, Black and Hawaiian.

13yo Okan, the racoon; Sara, the Skunk, and Marcus, the moose may be classmates, but they are certainly not friends. Until, however, a white wolf with antlers is spotted in their Minnesota forest and Okan and Sara feel called to find and save the wolf from rogue hunters. Marcus? He comes along because he demands to be included. The trio will go on a journey of steps and of spirit as each of them wrestle with where their hearts and loyalties lie.

Reminiscent of Touching Spirit Bear, Bird brings us skillfully into Native American lives and customs. I enjoyed the dynamics between the three characters and action and feeling of danger of the story. The resolution was a lovely surprise I wasn’t able to predict, that felt genuine.

17yo Jo-Lynn had a confrontation with a boy at a beach bonfire, his response, revenge porn - he sent her nudes (stolen from her phone) to his contacts. Suddenly she went from popular to pariah. The girls all stepped away from her, the boys thought she was easy, and acted on it. She spiraled at school.  Then, her ex-best friend Maddie disappears - some say she ran away, others that she's dead. Maddie had been awful to Jo, but the day she disappeared, Maddie had told Jo she was in trouble and needed her help. Was this a set up, or could Jo figure out what really happened? 

This debut novel is a Morris award winner. An intriguing mystery with a lot going on. A school cheating scandal, academic rankings drama, college acceptance, mentors, mean girls, mean boys, as well as family drama. Jo starts fake dating Hudson, (his suggestion to help her get back in with the popular crowd) and the relationship grows and becomes physical. The sexual content is also a lot, I would describe it as explicit, and there's not a nice build to it either - it doesn't feel romantic, also there are several scenes. While the intended audience is high school, I would suggest New Adult as a more appropriate audience. Characters default white.

14yo Evie has an eating disorder. When her parents take her to the doctor, she's diagnosed with anorexia and quickly placed in a residential program at a psychiatric hospital. She is required to consume an ever-increasing amount of daily calories, attend group and private counseling, and reshape her relationship with food and with her body. 

Based on the author's experiences, Seal tells an authentic, engaging, heart wrenching story. She begins with trigger warnings, so it's not for everyone. While most of the others at the hospital are adults, with just a small group of teens, the focus is on Evie. Despite the swear count, Light Enough to Float would certainly appeal to the older students at my middle school and, unfortunately, may relate to some of the younger ones as well. Includes resources for readers struggling with disordered eating and mental health challenges. Evie and her family are white.

Since the beginning of this 6th grade year, 12yo Clara has felt like an outsider. Her drawings of her summer spent on the mainland with her father brought teasing from the popular girl, a mean nickname for Clara, and the loss of her best friend, Leo. She loves living in Hawaii with her grandmother Tūtū, but with no friends at school, she wishes her dad would just let her move in with him in Phoenix. Tired of the teasing of the bus, Clara tells a family heirloom she wished she knew what boys were thinking, suddenly, her wish is granted. 

I was intrigued by the premise and expected Clairboyance to be funny. It's a serious story about family, culture, loss, grief and change. There were a lot of Hawaiian words and phrases, as well as English spoken in the Hawaiian dialect. With no glossary or help provided, it's certain Kahakauwila wrote Clairboyance for a Hawaiian reader.  While I think the average student would enjoy the story, I struggled with the code switching and worry that young readers will too.

13yo Jake listens to the voice in his head. The voice tells him he's nobody, that no one loves him, that he's repulsive. Jake has an eating disorder and has become dangerously thin, so his parents have put him in Whispering Pines, a facility for youth struggling like he is. But even with medical, emotional, and psychiatric help, Jake has to want to change for himself. 

Oh my, John Schu's novel in verse is compelling, engaging, and hard to put down. I can't believe I read it in nearly one sitting. I loved his choice to tell the story through verse, I was turning pages quickly as Jake's anger and fear levels rose, and more slowly when things were calmer. I LOVED all the Broadway musical references, his complicated relationship with his parents, and his interactions with the other teens at the facility. A well-paced read which I highly recommend, it's not for everybody, but it should be for most middle school libraries. The characters default white.

He's worried because his Tourette syndrome makes him tic and bark sometimes, that he will struggle to make friends, but right away, Amanda steps up and invites him to eat with her and her friends. His music teacher, Mrs. Chen, has offered to teach Connor to play an instrument, and he's amazed when he discovers that playing the drums might help settle his tics. 

I have loved this series. The Beat I Drum is more of a companion than a book three as the story happens at the same time as Momentous Events. I'm happy that Connor has found his tribe again, and that they are nice kids with issues of their own, as well as strengths to buoy up Connor. He's still having a rough time with his dad. I wonder now if Zion will get his own book? The characters are in high school, but they read younger. That is why it is just recommended for Middle School. The characters default white.

15yo Bella tells herself she needs alcohol to handle her arguing, demanding parents, school stress and her recent breakup. Her friends see her going downhill and her best friend Amber tries everything she can think of to help Bella. Bella has a job, works hard in school and helps her parents with pretty much everything and the breakup has pushed her over the edge. She tells herself that she just needs this drink to get through the day but one drink ends up being many and when Bella is dropped off and left for dead (overdosed) at 2 AM by people she was at a party with, the addiction comes out in the open. The nurse tells her she’s damaged her liver and that she fell on her porch cracking her cheekbone. Bella is in pain, on an IV and being prepared for rehab. She has a struggle ahead of her and she has to deal with it on her own.

The author’s note and resources, at the end of the book, are insightful and helpful. This story helped me to understand what addicts go through, especially when they’re truly trying to recover and make a better life for themselves. I grew to love Bella and my heart broke for her and opened up to her as the story was told. Other characters’ experiences broadened the scope of addiction and included how their caregivers treated them which helped Bella realize that she can ask for help because we can’t get through struggles all alone. She also learned that she has to protect herself because no one else will be there to do it for her, as we all need to know.

Cade, a 12th grader, is a smart, kind young man who’s working towards an NFL career. He has received a scholarship to a prep school that will help him with his goals. He’s tall, muscled and Black and people seem to always be afraid of him even when he’s just trying to help. One night he gets off of the subway after being accused of trying to steal a lady’s purse when he was only trying to keep her from falling over when the subway lurched. He ends up in a random neighborhood where he’s watched with suspicion by a couple walking their dog and police officers driving by. He enters a pawn shop to get off the street, purchases a $5 Superbowl ring replica and as he’s leaving, he states that he wishes people weren’t scared of him. Little does he know, he made a wish that will come true that will cause tragic consequences.

Cade and his family have integrity and humility even though they’ve done well. The family unit is represented as an important part of life throughout the book. The nuggets of wisdom from Cade’s father were refreshing. The struggle through Cade’s father’s terminal cancer is handled respectfully, honestly and tactfully. I enjoyed this mysterious and interesting YA horror story.

15yo Rhea and her friends Zeke and Malachi live in South LA. Local shops are starting to sell to trendy boutique business that cater to a wealthier demographic - their neighborhood is experiencing gentrification. When Zeke's landlord sends an eviction notice (he wants to upgrade the apartments and raise the rent) the kids decide to scare off the newcomers by inventing a fake local gang and flooding social media with "sightings," graffiti, and rumors. The gang doesn't really exist, but when things start to escalate, and a murder is attributed to SOSI, the kids know they are in real trouble. 

Adia was given the John Steptoe (Coretta Scott King) Award for new talent in 2024. She's a great writer. The kids are believable, and the situations tragic. I was on the edge of my seat. It's not so much about gangs as it is community. Rhea's community takes care of each other. I love the dynamics - the friendship with a new girl; Rhea hasn't really had a girl friend and it's great watching it develop, and the changing relationship with Malachi is so real - can friends be more than friends? Very high swear count, but the context makes it necessary. Rhea is Black, her friends are Black and Hispanic, the community is multicultural.

Piddy Sanchez started her sophomore year a month late at a new high school. Yaqui Delgado doesn't know her, and she doesn't know Yaqui, but somehow Yaqui is out to get her, and Piddy is afraid. She has a lot going on outside of school as well, her relationship with her mother is volatile, so she doesn't confide in anyone, and she thinks telling school administration will only make things worse. 

I enjoyed this graphic novel version of Meg Medina's Pura Belpre winning novel. Mel Valentine Vargas's blue and grey illustrations set a somber mood and bring the characters to life.

Except for a couple of text messages, the kids don't interact with each other during the suspension, so while I expected the fight to continue, it was more about the kids dealing with their own issues. Both characters' voices are great, Baptist writes for young black kids beautifully. Throughout the read, I kept remembering Johnson's Playing the Cards You're Dealt which would be a great companion read. Eb & Flo is a novel in verse narrated from alternating points of view, and the chapters are short. The characters are Black.

The summer before senior year, 18yo Nida was illegally frisked when she tried to pray in a park. To cope with her feelings about the experience, Nida turned to words. She wrote a letter poem to the parties involved and tried to move on. Until the letter got out, backlash came at her from every side, and Nida had to decide whether to do something or nothing.

Through Nida, Rana brings to life the injustices faced by those in our country every day. Nida’s experience of feeling violated brings out the indignation of readers on her behalf. Her words are twisted, she is manipulated, and even those who should be her support seem to be against her. Reading about Nida dredged up those feelings of times I have felt marginalized and misunderstood, and multiplied those feelings by ten. The injustices physically hurt as I read.

Nida and her family are Pakistani, Jawad is Somali, and Alexis is White. A significant portion of the characters are Muslim, from Nida’s community. The mature content rating is for tobacco use, a terrorist joke, illegal activity, and themes dealing with racism and Islamophobia. The violence rating is for mentions of guns and shootings.

13yo Katie McCabe is sick of hearing about the McCabe way of doing things. Her sheriff father can’t control her, so he has decided to send her to the family ranch into the care of his oldest brother, Charlie. Nothing works for Katie in this new place either - if anything it makes Katie feel more belligerent than she ever was at home. She fights with her uncle, with her cousin Sarah, and picks a bigger fight with the school bully, Denton, whose family has been trying to run the McCabe’s out of town for decades. 

I think I am supposed to feel sorry for Katie, but I could not muster up the feeling. Her anger at her father seems to be born out of nothing except teenaged petulance. And she just takes that anger with her to her uncle’s, where she proceeds to hate everyone who is trying to hold out a hand to her - demanding trust without giving any. Gardner’s aim seems to be to help angry teens see themselves in Katie and make a change - I can hope that it does without being convinced. Plus the promise of the blurb on the inside flap is 180 pages into the book and only lasts for 30 more pages - not the brilliance of Hatchet, for sure.

13yo Sydney Vicious Talcott and her mother have moved back to Beaver Dam to live with her grandmother while Mom goes back to school. Her punk rock style doesn’t actually sit well with the school’s mean girl Bethany Winter, who takes delight in bullying Sydney whenever she can - since her daddy basically owns the town, Bethany doesn’t fear any repercussions. Sydney finds a couple of other outcasts in the school library at lunch and when she finds out that Winters are backing an asphalt plant to be built down the street from the school, she decides that she cannot let that happen. Even though it means pushing back at the Powers That Be. She has an idea - and involves the up and coming indie band that her college-going brother introduced her to and a zine exposing all that is shady about her new town.

Nice to see a book centering 8th grade - even if the characters read a little older. If your HS kids don’t pay close attention, you might be able to slip this one into the collection. Plus the cover helps that feeling or being about an older student. I like everything about Sydney - a bit angry without being destructive. Street smart, but knows when she needs help. And fighting for the environment!

When Will Chambers was in 4th grade, Nick Fisher, an angry bully called him Fat. He spat the work at him, and while, yes, Nick was a big kid, up to that point he'd never considered his size a problem. But now, Will is in middle school. He hates himself, he hates what he looks like, he wears baggy clothes, hides during lunch, and consoles himself with food at home. But Markus, a new boy at school who skateboards behind the auditorium treats Will like a possible friend, and Will is determined to lose weight. But are his measures too drastic? 

Oh my! A body image book about a boy - I loved it! Written in the style of a doodle book, Will's story is told like a journal with plenty of drawings. Wimpy Kid readers will relate. It's not heavy-handed, but honest and poignant, yet hopeful. Will is a big bully to himself, with all his negative thought and drawing himself as a monster. Written in verse, the text flows beautifully - I can hear Will's internal struggle. "A Work in Progress" would pair well with Fipps "Starfish". Will's parents do step in with help when they discover what is going on. A great mental health read. Certainly buying for my library, but probably not for everyone. Will is white.
