"A must read. 10/10." --Broderick Hunter, actor, model, and
activist This fearless debut novel explores racism, injustice, and
self-expression through the story of a promising Black football
star in Louisiana. The system is rigged. For guys like Russell
Boudreaux, football is the only way out of their small town. As the
team's varsity tight end, Rus has a singular goal: to get a
scholarship and play on the national stage. But when his best
friend is unfairly arrested and kicked off the team, Rus faces an
impossible choice: speak up or live in fear. "Please rise for the
national anthem." Desperate for change, Rus kneels during the
national anthem. In one instant, he falls from local stardom and
becomes a target for hatred. But he's not alone. With the help of
his best friend and an unlikely ally, Rus will fight for his
dreams, and for justice. "A gripping story about what it looks like
when we demand equity, justice, and recognition of our own
humanity." --Kalynn Bayron, author of Cinderella Is Dead

Milek and his brother Munio live in a sleepy village in Poland,
where nothing exciting seems to happen. They reluctantly do as
their mother asks when she asks them to visit their neighbor Anton,
knowing that the rest of the village laughs at him because of his
strange habits of speaking to animals and only eating vegetables.
Things change quickly when war comes to their town in the form of
Nazi soldiers searching for Jewish families like that of Milek and
Munio. Anton refuses to tell the soldiers where to find them, and
then goes so far as to hide the family in his own home, putting his
life at risk without a thought. Based on a true story.
When it comes to friendship, who cares about skin color? This
classic middle grade novel from Judy Blume carries an important
message--with a fresh new look.
Iggie's House just wasn't the same. Iggie was gone, moved to Tokyo.
And there was Winnie, cracking her gum on Grove Street, where she'd
always lived, with no more best friend and two weeks left of
summer.
Then the Garber family moved into Iggie's house--two boys, Glenn
and Herbie, and Tina, their little sister. The Garbers were black
and Grove Street was white and always had been. Winnie, a welcoming
committee of one, set out to make a good impression and be a good
neighbor. That's why the trouble started.
Because Glenn and Herbie and Tina didn't want a "good neighbor."
They wanted a friend.

From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Renee

romantic relationship but how a girl finds herself and falls in
love with who she really is. 'Reading a Renee Watson novel is like
having an intimate conversation with a friend' Brandy Colbert
'deftly crafted, big-hearted, beautiful, funny, honest, and
inspiring' Nicola Yoon When Nala Robertson reluctantly agrees to
attend an open mic night for her cousin-sister-friend Imani's
birthday, she finds herself falling in instant love with Tye Brown,
the MC. He's perfect, except . . . Tye is an activist and is
spending the summer putting on events for the community when Nala
would rather watch movies and try out the new seasonal flavors at
the local creamery. In order to impress Tye, Nala tells a few tiny
lies to have enough in common with him. As they spend more time
together, sharing more of themselves, some of those lies get harder
to keep up. As Nala falls deeper into keeping up her lies and into
love, she'll learn all the ways love is hard, and how self-love is
revolutionary. In Love Is a Revolution, plus size girls are
beautiful and get the attention of the hot guys, the popular girl
clique is not shallow but has strong convictions and substance, and
the ultimate love story is not only about romance but about how to
show radical love to the people in your life, including to
yourself.

week is Thursday, when the whole class goes to the library and she

days, Stacey discovers that a new student named Julie has trouble
reading in English, so they begin sharing books and stories to
practice. Soon, more students start to join them. Books take the
group on magical adventures and reveal other worlds and
cultures-but best of all, they bring them together as friends. This
is another inspiring tale, based on a true story from Stacey
Abrams's childhood, about the life-changing power of books.
