I haven't posted a bookstack in quite some time, but I saw that Patty was promoting the old hashtag #whynotya to show off some great reads from the #youngadult section!
In the background of this post, you'll see some of my classroom shelves, but in the foreground, I've included some of the top reads for young adults:
⚡️Ziggy, Stardust, & Me by James Brandon
genre: historical fiction
368 pages
🔥The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan
genre: magic realism, contemporary fiction
462 pages
🧢The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
genre: classic, fiction
277 pages
🚌The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater
genre: true crime, lgbtq
320 pages
🎤On The Come Up Angie Thomas
genre: contemporary fiction
447 pages
📝Dear Martin by Nic Stone
genre: realistic fiction, race
210 pages
📓The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
genre: contemporary fiction, poetry
368 pages
Have you read any of these? I (surprisingly) have not yet read The Poet X, but it's on my blacklist for 2020. What are some of your YA recommendations that I can add to my classroom library?
